AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR ERA

LVG C.II


The LVG C.II is the subject of Datafile No.106.
Finishes appear to be uniformly light overall. This may be CDL fabric with either lightly varnished or buff painted ply panels on the nose and extreme tail, and with grey metalwork. Later aircraft were doped overall in light blue or grey.
Aircraft fitted with the Mercedes engine had the exhaust exiting on the starboard side. those fitted with the Benz, had it exit on the port side. Gravity fuel tanks would be under the opposite wing, or above the centre section.
Six C.II seaplanes were built; 443, 444 and 445 for the German Navy, and three for the Turkish Air Service
