The centre piece at the war booty exposition in the Musée de l'Armée in 1915 was this captured Gotha L.E.3 Taube. It was photographed from all sides and printed on innumerable poistcards. This card presents a seldom seen front view of the Taube which shows the elaborate wing construction struts which were characteric for real Taube monoplanes. Later in time the Taube evaluated to a more conventional monoplane without the struts.

Still another view of the Gotha L.E.3 Taube, here taken from one of the windows in the building high up. It gives a very good impression of the machine.

The much photographed Gotha LE 3 Taube on exposition in the Musée de l'Armée. In immecalute condition so the machine could have run out of fuel or even more mundane, the engine stopped and could not be restarted.
Remark the early style Eisernes Kreuz on the rudder. It consists of four triangular straight lines.
