AEG C.I

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The AEG C.I was a two-seat biplane reconnaissance aircraft produced in small numbers from March 1915. It was essentially an AEG B.II armed with a single Parabellum or Bergmann (rarely) machine gun mounted at the rear of the cockpit for the observer. A more powerful Benz engine increased maximum speed to a more respectable 130 km/h (81 mph). By October of 1915, it had begun to be replaced by the AEG C.II.
