Included in the Dutch news summary was mention of the G-1s entering service.
These two planes are the G-1 versions the Dutch are placing in service in late 1934 and 1935 in conjunction with FW-187As they hope to order from Germany.
The primary version is the G-1A "Aircruiser", basically a fighter bomber. The G-1C is a "Heavy Fighter", The G-1A differs primarily in a larger nacelle, boasting a larger bomb bay, a second crewmen, and twin GAST MGs in a tail turret in comparison to the G-1C. These two versions share both engines (currently Jumo 211Bs) and wings. A second Aircruiser version, the G-1B, (not shown) is still in development with radial engines, currently attaining 287kts with a pair of 1,050hp P&W R-1830-66 Twin Wasps, but designed with the forthcoming Hercules in mind.
The G-1A and C are both equipped with twin 23mm Madsen cannon, and 4x 7.92mm MGs forward (as the historic plan), while the A has the addition rear twin GAST MG. Ammo is included in user weight, which includes an additional 50lbs for the radio, etc.
All performance specs are at max. weight.
