Orders for 144 Lloyd C.V aircraft came in several batches: the Series 46 from Lloyd with the 185hp Daimler, the Series 46.5 with the 220hp Benz, and the Series 82 from WKF, also with the Benz. [note 2] Production was slow, especially since the engines were needed elsewhere, and hopes for a February delivery stretched out until autumn. Wood veneer-skinned wings with no spars gave the Lloyd C.V strong construction when new and intact, but combat damage or condensation could lead to delamination. While fairly fast and maneuverable, its scant two-hour fuel supply left little flexibility in mountainous terrain.
Series 46.5 machines arrived in late 1917 and was found to be a bit touchy to fly. Many Lloyd C.Vs were relegated to communication or training duties rather than flight over the front lines. Several were sent to the less-demanding Russian front. [1]
