Gotha Go 145

The Gotha Go 145 is a German World War II-era biplane of wood and fabric construction used by Luftwaffe training units.

The first aircraft manufactured was the Gotha Go 145,[3] a two-seat biplane designed by Dipl-Ing Albert Kalkert made out of wood with a fabric covering.

The Go 145 featured fixed landing gear and was powered by an Argus As 10C inverted V8 air-cooled engine fitted with a two-blade fixed-pitch propeller.

Noting the success of the raids, the Germans began conducting their own night harassment missions with obsolete aircraft on the Eastern Front.

In December 1942, the first Störkampfstaffel (harassment squadron) was established and equipped with Gotha Go 145 and Arado Ar 66 training biplanes.
