UFAG C.I

UFAG took the Brandenburg C.II prototype, reverted to conventional struts, added the excellent 230hp Hiero engine and produced the UFAG C.I. A small number were sent to two Fliks for frontline evaluation, and they were given excellent ratings. 284 were ordered in three batches: Series 161 (24), Series 161.3 (220 aircraft), and forty to Phönix. The second series increased the wingspan and adjusted the control surfaces for better maneuverability.

The C.I served with at least thirty Fliks. Both the UFAG C.I and Phönix C.I were excellent two-seaters, with the Phönix having a slight advantage at higher altitudes, while the UFAG was faster and more manueverable.

Phönix built forty UFAG C.Is as the UFAG C.I(Ph) Series 123 and about half of them reached front-line service before the Armistice.
