The Siemens-Schuckert Forssman was a prototype bomber aircraft designed and built in Germany in 1914 and 1915. When its performance proved inadequate for its intended role even after numerous modifications the German Inspectorate of Flying Troops eventually accepted it into service as a trainer. Shortly after its acceptance into military service the aircraft's fuselage fractured while on the ground ending its career.
