C.Owers Hansa-Brandenburg Aircraft of WWI Vol.1: Landplanes (A Centennial Perspective on Great War Airplanes 17)

Type MLD

   The MLD was a 1915 pusher design with twin booms carrying the tail surfaces that incorporated triple rudders. It carried a two-man crew and was equipped with a machine gun. Designed before the arrival of the first true fighters, its intended role was probably as much reconnaissance as fighting. It was not successful and it is not certain for whom the aircraft was intended.
