History
The Rumpler C.I was one of the first reconnaissance biplane entering German service in 1915. It was used until the end of the war.
Initially the aircraft was armed with one Parabellum machine gun for the gunner/observer, but later a fixed, synchronized Spandau machine gun was added. The Rumpler C.I was also used as a light bomber and it could take a bomb load of about 100 kg.
A version was Rumpler C.Ia, equipped with a 180 hp Argus As.III engine replacing the 160 hp Mercedes D.III.
The Rumpler 6B-1 was a single seat float version.
A series of Rumplers was delivered as unarmed trainers with a 150 hp Benz Bz.III engine. These trainers were kept in service until the end of the war.
