Aviatik C.V Explained

The Aviatik C.V was a German experimental reconnaissance biplane with a distinctive gull upper wing built during the First World War. Not to be confused with the DFW C.V which was licence built by Aviatik as the Aviatik C.VI.

The prototype was built in 1916. It was listed in front-line service in June 1917, but this may have been a clerical error.^[1]
