1,058 MysteryBox  7.3 years ago

A replica of the early German monoplane. It was one of the first large all-metal planes. And, in the book "The Color Encyclopedia of Incredible Airplanes", it states that "...the E.4/20 made several extremely promising flights"(132). It was truly ahead of its time, as it was built in the 1920's, but was scraped because of the Treaty of Versailles.
