Albatros C.VII 1330/16 of Flieger Abteilung 7. The white arrow is the unit marking. Unusually, a radiator has been mounted in front of the wing, probably a modification carried out at the unit. C.VIIs normally had 'ear' radiators on the side of the fuselage. A captured Lewis gun is mounted over the wing center section.

This aircraft is thought to be the Albatros C.VII prototype. It was photographed at Johannisthal in front of the Albatros company hangars. The exposed engine cylinder head above the cowling is the key identification factor differentiating the C.VII from the C.V that was developed at basically the same time. The C.VII shared its squared-off lower wing with the C.V/16 and its upper wing, with balanced ailerons, with the C.V/17.

Here is a C.VII with a leading edge radiator in place of the normal ear radiators. Two photos exist of C.VII 1330/16 of FliegerAbteilung 7 with this field modification, and this may be another photo of that aircraft; the FliegerAbteilung 7 arrow unit marking is just visible next to the observer's cockpit. A captured Lewis is mounted on the upper wing.

This C.VII of FliegerAbteilung 7 retains its ear radiators but has had a captured Lewis gun attached to the cabane struts. A close look at the aircraft above reveals similar mounting points on the cabane struts. Was the aircraft above the same aircraft as below after radiator modifications, or was more than one aircraft of the unit fitted with a Lewis?

Albatros C.VII 1344/16 was one of 16 C.VII aircraft repaired by Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft, maker of Mercedes engines, during 1917. The spinner on this aircraft is much flatter than the normal C.VII spinner, giving it an unusual appearance.

Albatros C.VII 1359/16 at Armee Flug Park 3 in summer 1916 carries a black and white fuselage band that are likely a unit marking. The upper surfaces of the wings are painted in a two- or three-color scheme and the national insignia have a 50mm wide white surround. The fuselage is varnished wood. Rounded lower wingtips were tested on C.VII prototypes but have not been seen on operational aircraft; C.VII production was complete by the time rounded wingtips were tested.
Developed from the C.V, the Albatros C.VII was powered by the 200 hp Benz Bz.IV. Unlike the C.V, the engine protrudes from the fuselage. -

Albatros C.VII 3540/16 photographed at FliegerAbteilung (A) 224 on 22 May 1917. This aircraft has the square white backgrounds on the national insignia that were obsolete by this time.The balanced ailerons and square-tipped lower wings are clearly shown. The wings wear a three-color camouflage scheme and has a dark chevron marking with tactical number '3' on the fuselage. It is likely this aircraft was actually assigned to Schusta 27.
Built in substantial numbers, the Albatros C VII entered operations near the close of 1916. Hastily developed to circumvent the engine-related unreliability being experienced by their CV, the CVII used the 200hp Benz Bz IV. With this engine, the CVII proved reliable and equally at home doing relatively high level reconnaissance at its ceiling of 16,400 feet, or doing its infantry support task of strafing trenches with its short range 200lb bomb load. At least 350 Albatros C VIIs had been delivered by the parent company and its two sub-contractors by February 1917. -

Albatros C.VII(Bay) 7713/16 with camouflage applied to the wings in narrow bands roughly parallel to the wing ribs. BFW-built aircraft had their wing insignia more inboard than Albatros or OAW-built aircraft. There is a possibility the pattern had three colors like those of other manufacturers.

АЛЬБАТРОС C-VII / ALBATROS C-VII
Осенью 1916-го на "Альбатрос" установили достаточно надежный и хорошо отлаженный в производстве 200-сильный мотор "Бенц".
Новую модификацию обозначили C-VII. Кроме силовой установки, она ничем не отличалась от C-V/17. На предприятиях фирм OAW и BFW построено свыше 600 экземпляров C-VII. Первые из них попали на западный фронт в декабре 1916 года. А уже в феврале 1917-го там насчитывалось более 350 аппаратов, входивших в большинство немецких разведывательных авиаподразделений.
Самолет быстро завоевал популярность благодаря выдающейся легкости пилотирования. Особенно удивляла простота приземления. Говорили даже, что стоит лишь выключить мотор и отпустить управление, как C-VII сядет самостоятельно. При этом все остальные летные данные также были вполне приемлемы.
