Albatros C.X

The Albatros C.X took replaced the unreliable Mercedes D.IV engine of the Albatros C.V with the new D.IVa and took all the lessons from the C.V/17 to create a solid and handsome two-seater. It was produced in moderate numbers, as Albatros' dominance of the two-seater market was now seeing competition from L.V.G. and D.F.W. Most importantly, it was in direct competition with the Rumpler C.IV, and the Rumpler was found to be the superior plane. Because of this, the Rumpler became the dominant long-range reconnaissance plane of the period and a good number of the C.X's were diverted to training units. Four hundred were built and ninety-eight were at the front in mid 1917.
