Aviatik C.III

The Aviatik C.III was an attempt to improve on the Aviatik C.I, but it retained the same engine and was not much better. Twenty-four Aviatik C.Ia orders were converted to C.IIIs, followed by a order for twenty-five additional in July 1916. Later, in 1917, a further two hundred were built as trainers. They were used in small numbers at the front from mid 1916 until summer of 1917.
