Design and development

Germania Flugzeugwerke built the C.I as a biplane of wooden construction with plywood and fabric construction. A forward firing Spandau machine gun and Parabellum machine gun were mounted in the aft cockpit.

A derivative of the C.I, the C.II, of which only a prototype was built, differed from the C.I in having staggered mainplanes and a reduced gap.[ citation needed ]

In the C.I the observer sat in front of the pilot, with a machine-gun clipped on a sliding mounting fitted on a rail at either side of the cockpit.

There was only one aircraft built of refined C.Ia version in May 1916, with armament still in a forward cab, serving as a prototype for C.III.
