The Lloyd C.IV was intended to have a veneer-covered wing rather than fabric, but production delays forced a return to the traditional fabric. Forty-four were originally contracted, but only twenty-one were delivered (plus another sixteen from WKF). There were two Lloyd series, Series 44 and Series 44.2 for unknown reasons. Due to unimpressive performance, it served mostly on the less-demanding Eastern Front. [2]
Lloyd C.IV(WKF) Series 44.5 and 44.6 planes were sent to the Russian front on December 1916, but they did not last long and were withdrawn in February 1917. [1]
