04/30/2008. Remarks by Bernard Klein: "Because of its "pod" fuselage with one engine in front and one in the rear, this experimental single-seat twin-engined fighter was nicknamed by the workers at the Siemens-Schuckert Werke "Das fliegende Ei" (The flying egg). Unfortunately it crashed during its first flight in November 1917 and so much destroyed it was decided not to rebuild the aircraft." |
