Albatros C.III

The Albatros C.III was one of the most important aircraft of the mid-war. Due to its robust plywood fuselage, it could take a lot of punishment. Its reliable engines allowed a pilot's fixed gun to be added with little performance drop, making it one of the first two-seaters with weapons for both crew members.

So popular was the C.III that production was spread between Albatros, B.F.W., D.F.W., H.F.Caspar, Linke-Hofmann, L.V.G., O.A.W., and S.S.W.

It was, in fact, the most common German two-seater at the front from spring of 1916 to the beginning of 1917.
