Engine: 1 × Mercedes D.III , 119 kW (160 hp)

Armament: 1 × flexible 7.92 mm (.312 in) Parabellum MG14 machine gun + 1 × fixed, forward-firing 7.92 mm (.312 in) LMG 08/15 machine gun (later production aircraft) + up to 60 kg (130 lb) of light bombs

The C.II was developed from the LVG B.I, with the pilot and observer positions reversed, adding a ring-mounted machine gun to the rear. The increase in weight required a larger engine, the Benz Bz.III. Few C.I’s were built before the C.II was introduced. It incorporated structural improvements and a more powerful engine.
