The Gotha WD.2 (for Wasser Doppeldecker - Water Biplane) and its derivatives were a family of military reconnaissance aircraft produced in Germany just before and during the early part of World War I. It was a development of the Avro 503 that had been built under licence by Gotha as the WD.1 and like it was a conventional three-bay biplane with tandem open cockpits. The landing gear comprised twin pontoons and dispensed with the small pontoon carried under the tail of the WD.1.
