D.F.W. C.I

Like most B-class aircraft, the D.F.W. B.I positioned the observer in the front seat. When D.F.W. converted the plane in the the armed D.F.W. C.I, they chose a compromise solution, leaving the observer in front but having him stand up to operate a flexible Parabellum mounted in a cut-out over the top wing. The C.I served on both Eastern and Western fronts in small numbers.
