Przed końcem I wojny światowej Niemcy uzyskały prymat na świecie w każdej gałęzi lotnictwa militarnego. Książka Niemieckie samoloty I wojny światowej stanowi szczegółowy, ilustrowany przewodnik po myśliwcach, samolotach rozpoznawczych, szturmowych i bombowych, które służyły w kajzerowskich siłach powietrznych od 1914 do 1918 roku. W porządku chronologicznym przedstawiono w tej publikacji wszystkie najważniejsze konstrukcje lotnicze z tego okresu, takie jak świetny Fokker D.VII, powszechnie uznawany za najlepszy myśliwiec Wielkiej Wojny, sławny trójpłat Fokker Dr.I, na którym latał Czerwony Baron Manfred von Richthofen, Rumpler C.IV latający na bardzo znacznych wysokościach, a przez to niedosięgły dla alianckich myśliwców oraz bombowiec Gotha G.IV, uczestniczący w pierwszym dziennym nalocie na Londyn w czerwcu 1917 roku. Poszczególne rozdziały zawierają opis myśliwców, samolotów rozpoznawczych, szturmowych, bombowców oraz wodnosamolotów. Na ilustracjach zostały zaprezentowane autentyczne oznakowania i barwy maskujące, a opis poszczególnych typów samolotów obejmuje zestawienia szczegółowych danych taktyczno-technicznych. Zawierająca 110 kolorowych ilustracji książka Niemieckie samoloty I wojny światowej jest nieodzownym kompendium dla modelarzy oraz wszystkich entuzjastów, zainteresowanych lotnictwem wojskowym z lat Wielkiej Wojny.
