    DFW C.V mid production


    A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Aircraft - World War I

    Description: The DFW. C.V was possibly the most important aircraft in the WWI German Air Force. The overriding purpose of aviation at that time was support of the ground war. This made observaton and artillery spotting the primary air forces' mission and the DFW C.V equipped front line units in greater number than any other German 2 seater. It was highly succesful, well liked by its crews, and was reported to have outstanding performance comparable to the F2B Bristol fighter. It served continuously from 1916 to the end in 1918. Almost 4,000 were produced, with 2005 manufactured by the parent company DFW (Deutsche Flugzeug-Werke), and under license; 1400 by Aviatik, 400 by LVG (Luftverkehrsgesellschaft), and 150 by Halberstadt (Halberstädter Flugzeugwerke).


    Early and mid production models featured "ear" type radiators mounted on the side of the fuselage. In November, 1916, the Idflieg banned the ear type radiator because any leaks allowed the water to drain out of the engine and caused it to quickly seize.

    Many thanks CK. These are very much appreciated WWI aircraft!
    Do not fear the enemy, for they can take only your life. Fear the media far more, for they will destroy your honour.
