History

The CL.IV was designed as successor of the CL.II, an effective ground support aircraft. The design was specially focused on this task.
The CL.IV had a shorter, strengthened fuselage and an enlarged horizontal tail. These modifications gave the aircraft an improved manoeuvrability compared with the CL.II.
450 examples were built by Halberstadt and LFG (Roland) built another 250 examples.

History

Early 1917 IDFlieg released a specification for a new aircraft type, CL. This type was meant to escort reconnaissance aircraft an for ground attacks.
Halberstadt developed an CL type based upon the rather unsuccessful Halberstadt D.IV fighter.
It was a wooden single engined biplane, with a machine gun for the gunner/observer. The Cl.II was approved in may 1917 and entered production.
Halberstadt built about 700 examples and BFW, Bayerische Flugzeug-Werke, built 200 examples.

Versions.

CL.II: main production version, equipped with a 150 hp Mercedes D.III engine.
- CL.IIa: equipped with a BMW IIIa engine. Few were built for testing purposes.

History

In December 1914 Handley Page received an order of the Royal Navy to develop a bomber with a large range.
The result was a twin engine biplane with a wing span of 30 meter.
It made its first flight in December 1915. After some improvements the aircraft entered production as O/100 and 46 examples were built.

The success of the O/100 resulted in the development of an improved version with more powerful engines, new bomb aiming equipment. Of this type more than 400 examples were built under the designation O/400. In the US 100 examples were built by the Standard Aircraft Corporation.

Versions.

O/100: original version with two 260 hp Rolls Royce Eagle II;
O/400: improved version with two 360 hp Royce Eagle;
O/7: Export version for China for transport of fourteen passengers;
- O/11: Version of the O/7 for transport of passengers and freight.
O/10: Version for twelve passengers.

It happened to carry eight bombs, which were moved to ammunition factory Hembrug near Amsterdam.

The aircraft was interned and received serial HP703 and was the largest aircraft which was interned in the Netherlands during the first world war.

History

This aircraft succeeded the Hannover CL.II and was a two seat multifunctional aircraft. Noteworthy was the double tail. Several improvements compared with the CL.II were added, such as revised ailerons and aerodynamic refinements. It was expected that aircraft would better perform at lower heights.

Initially the CL.III would be equipped with the Mercedes D.III engine, but this was mainly built for fighter aircraft, so most Hannover CL.IIIS were equipped with the 180 hp Argus As. III.

Versions.

Hannover CL.III: the original version with a 160 hp Mercedes D.III engine.
Hannover Cl.IIIa: with an 180 hp Argus As.III engine.

History

The Hansa-brandenburg W.12 was developed in 1916 by Ernst Heinkel. It was a two-seat fighter-scout, which made its first flight in January 1917. It was a very manoeuvrable aircraft.

The fuselage was made of plywood. Noteworthy was the downward rudder, thus giving the observer a free field to fire.

The aircraft was produced with either a 160 hp Mercedes D.III as well as a 150 hp Benz Bz.II.

The first series of the production suffered from problems with longitudinal stability. From aircraft with construction-number 2000 and on this was solved by extending the fuselage.

An example of this type made an emergency landing near Rottumeroog on April 22, 1918. It was interned and received the registration W1.

It was a good float plane with good flying characteristics and it was used as an example for the later Van Berkel, WA.
