L.V.G. C.VI

Luft-Verkehrs Gesellschaft m.b.H. (L.V.G.) produced aircraft throughout the war, including the excellent L.V.G. C.V of 1917. The LVG C.VI was a refinement of that aircraft, using the same Benz Bz.IV engine. Servicing was simplified and the view from the cockpit was improved. It was found to be an excellent two-seater, and roughly 1,000 were produced. 400 were in service in August 1918.

Austria-Hungary placed a provisional order for fifty C.VIs, to be refitted with 230hp Hiero engines. The Phönix C.I was found to be more capable, though, and the order was cancelled in August 1918.
