[edit] Service
The CV came out in 1916 as a development of the DFW CIV. It was produced in larger numbers than any other German aircraft during World War I. It remained in service until early 1918 though 600 were still in use by the Armistice of 11 November 1918. In the hands of a skill pilot it could outmanoevre most allied fighters of the period.
There were two DFW C.V. aircraft used in the Finnish Air Force during 1918-1921.
