List of military aircraft of Germany |
This list of military aircraft of Germany includes prototype,
pre-production, and operational types. No distinction is drawn here between different services.
In 1990, the various air arms of the former German Democratic Republic were absorbed by their counterparts in the Federal Republic of
Germany. Some types that had been operated by the GDR were, of course, no longer in service at this point, and these are so
noted.
