Rumpler B.I

The Rumpler B.I served in moderate numbers with the German air service in early 1915 until tailing off slowly in the second half.

Twenty-nine Rumpler B.I Series 02 were purchased by Austria-Hungary in 1914-March 1915. It flew reconnaissance missions with two Fliks on the Eastern Front, two in the Balkans, and one on the Italian front. Some were refitted with the 100hp Daimler engine, rather than try to maintain or repair the foreign Mercedes. Like so many B-class aeroplanes, when their active service ended in early 1916, they were transferred to training units.
