Hannover CL.II

When Hannover introduced their first native design in the Hannover CL.II, they had a winner on their hands. A compact, strong aircraft with a biplane tail, it was agile and fairly fast, serving the Schlachtstaffeln role perfectly. Together with the Halberstadt CL.II, the Hannover few in flights of four to six on both escort and close support missions.

The purpose of the biplane tale was to increase the observer's usable field of fire without reducing maneuverability.

After spring of 1918 the type was phased out in favor of the Hannover CL.III and IIIa.
