When it became obvious that two-seaters needed to defend themselves, L.V.G. like other manufacturers took their B-class aeroplane and give it a minor facelift. The L.V.G. C.I may have been the first German plane to provide the observer with a Parabellum on a Schneider-ring mounting. Only limited production was undertaken for the C.I. [4]
