The '''AEG B.II''' was a two-seat [[biplane]] [[reconnaissance aircraft]] produced in small numbers from 1914. It was a slightly smaller version of the [[AEG B.I|B.I]] and proved more successful. They were used in limited numbers throughout 1914 to 1915, but were quickly replaced, as they were often derided for lack of speed and armament.
