I show 29 Gotha's (of one flavor or another) claimed as decisive combats by the RFC/RNAS/RAF. Claims by Camel's predominate, followed by Pups, BF2Bs, and Triplanes, with single claims by a Nieuport 27, and an AW FK8. The type claimed is not necessarily correct; the one Gotha claimed in Italy by Mitchell, with Scaroni & Breda of the Italians, is listed in the new book Italian Aces of World War I (Gentilli, Iozzi, Variale) as an AEG G.IV.

The French appear to have claimed three. One by Nungesser, and another by Guynemer shared.

I do not show any by the USAS.

These counts are limited to those actually identified as Gothas. They could just appear as TE aircraft, or as multi-engined aircraft.

Frank.
