The Aviatik C.I was an observation aircraft which came into service during World War I in April 1915. It was the successor to the Aviatik B.I and B.II models. In the C.I the observer sat in front of the pilot, with two machine-guns, mounted on rails on each side of the observer's cockpit, which gave the crew the means to attack enemy aircraft.〔van Wyngarden, G. ''Early German Aces'', p.6〕 The positions of the pilot and observer were reversed in the C.Ia version. Later models of the plane included the Aviatik C.II and the C.III, which had more powerful engines. The C.III was produced in large numbers. ==Variants== ;C.1 : ;C.II :This model was powered by a 149 kW (200 hp) Benz Bz.IV engine. it was not produced in quantity.〔''Janes'', p.88〕 ;C.III :The C.III was a 1916 refinement which was operated until 1917.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aviatik C.I」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
