The initial bird-like “Taube” (Dove) design was made by Austrian Igo Etrich and successfully took to the air in April 1910. Unfortunately for Etrich he was unable to successfully patent the design which lead to a dizzying array of copycat Taube designs being churned out by dozens of German manufacturers. One of the most successful was Jeannin Stahltaube (Steel Dove) which was widely operated by the German military. Note that while just about all Taubes superficially appear the same they are in fact significantly different from one another.
