Halberstadt C.V
The Halberstadt C.V was a German single-engined reconnaissance biplane of World War I, built by Halberstädter Flugzeugwerke. Derived from the Halberstadt C.III, with a more powerful supercharged 160 kW (220 hp) Benz Bz.IVü engine, it saw service only in the final months of the war. Cameras were mounted in the observer's cockpit floor.
The aircraft had very good flight characteristics, especially maneuverability and rate of climb, and was among best German World War I aircraft in its class.[1] First aircraft appeared in front in late June 1918.[1]
