The Lyrics

The Gotha Go-147 is a little-known German research aircraft designed by Dr. Kupper intended to become a Heer observation aircraft. It was small at just 19 ft long with a 40 ft wingspan. Odd for the time was a 38o sweep gull wing tailless design with tip tailfins/rudders. It had two open cockpit areas for the pilot and rear gunner. Armament was 1x MG-17 up front + 1x MG-15 to the rear. It was powered by Argus As-10 of 240 hp and had a speed of 137 mph. Meant to closely follow Heer ground operations and report enemy positions and assets. Flew from 1936-39 but was dropped. Ultimately the Storch fulfilled the role so much better and was of conventional configuration for a STOL.
Odd plane with a good view
the STOL kind

Tailless plane with gull wings swept too
Span: 40 feet
38 degrees

Observation bandit
Would follow the ground
Reports to Heer deadly
When foreign troops and armor were found

[Panzers and Stukas would take them out]

Odd plane with a good view
Was the STOL kind
But unkind

A few flew
Speed improved
Was too new
Remained research aircraft
MGs front, rear
Viewed as oddity
It didn’t last

[Storch followed fast]

Sight to see
Odd plane with a good view
Was the STOL kind
(Dr. Kupper’s “baby”)

I saw one of these a long time ago that someone built, a real oddball plane out there with the Blohm & Voss 141, yikes!

have the vets who wrote such entertaining parodies for years deserted this site. This third reich wannabe is dreadful. How long before we hear his Japanese WWII atrocity parodies.
