Rumpler Rubild

The Rumpler C.VI seems to have been the original designation of the Rumpler Rubild, a Rumpler C.IV variant designed for high-altitude photography. Like the C.IV, it featured a 260hp Mercedes D.IVa engine, but it also used a Messter strip camera. Appearing in autumn 1917, its numbers slowly increased to the point that 177 were serving in August 1918, the last date for which we have Frontbestand data.

Another version, the Rubild Mb substituted the Maybach Mb.IVa engine.
