I think this is the largest biplane I’ve ever seen.
At the time of its completion the Siemens-Schuckert R.VIII was the largest aeroplane in the world; (the Mannesman-Poll triplane was to have been much larger but was not completed before the Versailles Treaty came into force).
Ahh. That makes sense.
They took it! At the tip of a sword!
