Rumpler 6B1

The Rumpler 6B1 was a seaplane based on the successful Rumpler C.I. It was changed into a single-seater (which helped to compensate for the weight of the floats), and all but the three prototypes had the rounded tail of the Rumpler C.IV. A single synchronized LMG08 was mounted. Thirty-five production planes were built before it was replaced in production by the twin-gunned 6B2. But single-seat planes had by then fallen out of favor with the German Navy, so the latter was mostly used for training purposes. Production was slow and the last 6B1 was delivered in May 1917.
