The side radiators give this early Albatros C.I a primitive look compared to later-production C.I aircraft fitted with leading edge radiators. The translucent fabric reveals the wood wing structure that was typical of the time. Powered by a 160hp Mercedes DIII, the Albatros C.1 was a general purpose aircraft and was one of the most effective types operational in 1915. The photo shows a captured example of the type. |

The Albatros C.I was a transitional design, retaining the basic airframe of the B.II with a more powerful engine and rotating gun turret for the observer, who was moved to the rear cockpit to maximize his field of fire. This C.I has a 160 hp Mercedes D.III engine. (Peter M. Bowers Collection/The Museum of Flight) | J.Herris - Albatros Aircraft of WWI. Volume 1: Early Two-Seaters /Centennial Perspective/ (24) |
Mercedes-powered Albatros C.I with side radiators lacked a visible serial number. A practical design, the C.I was a key first-generation armed reconnaissance airplane. | J.Herris - Albatros Aircraft of WWI. Volume 1: Early Two-Seaters /Centennial Perspective/ (24) |
Albatros C.1475/15 was part of a batch of 50 aircraft ordered in July 1915. The marking style is typical for later production aircraft; perhaps the aircraft has been recovered? A variety of different exhaust manifolds and radiators were used on early Albatros two-seaters. (Peter M. Bowers Collection/The Museum of Flight) | J.Herris - Albatros Aircraft of WWI. Volume 1: Early Two-Seaters /Centennial Perspective/ (24) |
This Albatros C.I of Feld-Flieger Abteilung 53 was flown by Vzfw.Thuy, whose initial is incorporated in its insignia. Emil Thuy later became a very successful fighter pilot; he was promoted to Leutnant, commanded Jasta 28 and later commanded Jagdgruppe Nr.7, was awarded the Pour le Merite, and survived the war credited with 35 victories. | J.Herris - Albatros Aircraft of WWI. Volume 1: Early Two-Seaters /Centennial Perspective/ (24) |
Albatros C.I 605/15 readies for take-off from a snowy airfield. The large serial number of octagonal white background for the fuselage insignia with its rounded inner corners are notable departures from typical markings. | J.Herris - Albatros Aircraft of WWI. Volume 1: Early Two-Seaters /Centennial Perspective/ (24) |
Albatros C.I 1066/15 taxies through the snow for take-off. The national insignia on the tail has a white border while those on the wings and fuselage are the older style on a white background. | J.Herris - Albatros Aircraft of WWI. Volume 1: Early Two-Seaters /Centennial Perspective/ (24) |
This Albatros C.I is tactical number '3' assigned to Kampfstaffel 5 of KGI as indicated by its markings. It has suffered a landing gear malfunction, perhaps the result of a hard landing. | Журнал - Flight за 1916 г. |
The machine on the left is of the older type, with the radiators on each side of the body. The right hand photo, is of special interest as it shows the body of an Albatros which returned from a fight with Garros with twenty bullet holes through various parts of the fuselage. | J.Herris - Albatros Aircraft of WWI.

Eduard Ritter von Schliech in front of his Benz-powered Albatros C.I trainer at Bavarian FEA 1 in Schleissheim in the summer of 1915. After being wounded in the infantry, von Schleich volunteered for aviation duty and qualified for his Bavarian pilot's badge at FEA 1 on 11 September 1915. Wounded again while flying with Flieger Abteilung 2b, he transferred to fighters with Jasta 21. He was awarded the Pour le Merite on 4 December 1917 after 25 victories and went on to score 35 confirmed victories by the end of the war, which he survived. | K.Delve - World War One in the Air /Crowood/ |
Summer 1917 and crews pose with an Albatros CI; although the type had entered service in 1915 as a general-purpose aircraft it had by 1917 been relegated to other uses. A dual-control trainer variant was also in use. | J.Herris - Albatros Aircraft of WWI. Volume 1: Early Two-Seaters /Centennial Perspective/ (24) |

Naval Albatros C.I L.F. 143 with its engine running gets ready for another mission. | A.Imrie - German Bombers /Arms & Armour/ |
When Major Thomsen became the Feldflugchef (Chief of Field Aviation) in March 1915, he constantly reminded all units that he expected every German aeroplane that crossed the frontline, regardless of its operational assignment, to carry some bombs to drop on towns or military installations in the enemy rear areas which were out of artillery range. Even if the only result was a few broken windows, the effect on the enemy's morale was considered a good enough reason. It was an unpopular instruction and not always acted upon. The observer of this Albatros C I would appear to be an adherent as he accepts a 10kg Carbonit bomb for delivery. | A.Imrie - German Bombers /Arms & Armour/ |
With the advent of the C category two-seater which placed the observer in the rear cockpit, there was no longer any need for improvised bomb chutes and bombs could simply be dropped over the side in the manner shown here by the observer of this well armed Albatros C I. Apart from the Parabellum LMG 14 on the pivot of the rotatable gun ring, this aircraft carries a Madsen (known as 'Die Muskete' in the service) firing forward over the tips of the propeller, and for good measure a '98 Carabine is strapped to the side of the fuselage. The claw brake pivoted on the centre of the undercarriage spreader bar was a standard fitting on all two-seaters. | J.Herris - Albatros Aircraft of WWI. Volume 1: Early Two-Seaters /Centennial Perspective/ (24) |
The observer in Benz-powered naval Albatros C.I L.F. 125 demonstrates just how crude manual 10 kg Carbonit bomb dropping could be in the late spring of 1915. The weapon he is posing with is the standard 10 Kg/22lb high explosive bomb introduced the previous year. As bombs grew heavier, dropping them by hand was no longer practical. By mid-1916, such weapons would be fitted to remotely released, underwing bomb racks for providing close air support to the infantry. Under the observer's cockpit is the guide for the wireless antenna. Two machine guns were said to befitted to L.F. 125 but only one is visible. | J.Herris - Albatros Aircraft of WWI.

Another view of naval Albatros C.I L.F. 125. L.F. 125 was W.Nr.1023 and was reported as being on the strength of II MFFA on 29 October 1916, and lasted until 17 November 1917 when it was written off. | J.Herris - Albatros Aircraft of WWI. Volume 1: Early Two-Seaters /Centennial Perspective/ (24) |
Land-based naval aviators "Franz und Emil" pose in front of their Albatros C.I LF127 (LF for Landflugzeug) powered by a 150 hp Benz Bz.III. The Navy had 25-26 Albatros C.I aircraft, of which 10 were powered by the 150 hp Rapp Rp.III. Originally the Navy used an "S" designation for Schulflugzeug (school airplane, or trainer), but on 7 March 1915 the "S" designation was changed to mean any naval land airplane. On 18 November 1915 the S-designation was changed to LF. | J.Herris - Albatros Aircraft of WWI. Volume 1: Early Two-Seaters /Centennial Perspective/ (24) |
Albatros C.I 110/15 had its armament augmented with an additional Madsen machine gun firing over the wing. | J.Herris - Albatros Aircraft of WWI. Volume 1: Early Two-Seaters /Centennial Perspective/ (24) |
Albatros C.I 62/15 mounted an additional Parabellum over the wing, a step toward the synchronized, forward-firing machine gun for the pilot. This is Lt. Robert Greim who later became the Pour le Merite fighter ace Robert Ritter von Greim. He is shown here testing the machine gun while serving as an observer with Fliegerabteilung 3b, a Bavarian unit. | J.Herris - Albatros Aircraft of WWI.

Albatros C.Ia(Bay) C.15001/17 photographed at Adlershof during its flight testing in December 1917. Built by BFW (Bayerische Flugzeug Werke) in Munich for training use, the C.Ia(Bay) was powered by a 180 hp Argus As.III. The leading edge radiator is by Windhoff and the wing struts and wheels are made of wood to conserve materials. The flying surfaces were covered with lozenge camouflage fabric. (Peter M. Bowers Collection/The Museum of Flight) The Albatros C I, deployed operationally from the spring of 1915, soon built a reputation for its ease of handling and general robustness. During its two year production life, the C I underwent a series of changes, being fitted with ever more powerful engines starting with the 150hp Benz Bz III and ending with the 180hp Argus As III. Along with these changes of engine, the position of the radiator moved around, starting on the fuselage flank in the C I, but moving to drape from the upper wing's centre section leading edge, as here on this C Ia. Top level speed of the C Ia was 87mph at sea level, with a ceiling of 9,840 feet. The armament comprised a single, flexibly-mounted 7.92mm Parabellum in the rear cockpit. |

Albatros C.1811/16 rests in the middle of a unit lineup of Albatros reconnaissance aircraft at the front. The note on the photos indicates FliegerAbteilung Sontholen. (Peter M. Grosz Collection/SDTB) | J.Herris - Albatros Aircraft of WWI. Volume 2: Late Two-Seaters /Centennial Perspective/ (25) |
Another view of Albatros C.1811/16 at the front. The question is; what type is it? Its serial number, C.1811/16, is right in the middle of the Albatros C.VI series (C.1775-1849/16) and it was identified as a C.VI in the Peter M. Grosz archive in the SDTB. Those facts would seem to settle it - except for the fact it appears to be an Albatros C.I! Our noted illustrator realized this as he was preparing to create a profile of this aircraft. So what happened? Bob Pearson points out that C.1811/15 was an Albatros C.I, and the serial on the aircraft in the photos was probably applied as C.1811/16 in error, probably during maintenance. We have photos of other examples of this type of error, and that likely is the explanation here. Fortunately, Bob looked beyond the serial number. (Peter M.
