LVG C.I C.154/15 running up its engine. The LVG C.I was developed from the LVG B.I; it can be distinguished from the C.II by the side radiators and angled fuselage seam between the fabric and plywood. (Peter M. Grosz Collection/STDB) |

LVG C.I 316/15 bears the small fuselage inscription "Flieg. Ers.Abt. 3 Gotha Telef 1040" indicating the aircraft is assigned to FEA 3 at Gotha and gives its phone number. Under the serial is the number 1080; was this the work number? (Reinhard Zankl) |

LVG C.I 323/15 was beautifully-finished and sported a leading-edge radiator, which was less vulnerable than earlier radiators on the fuselage sides and generated less drag. With the fine finish and leading-edge radiator it appears much more modern than LVG C.I 154/15. (Peter M. Grosz Collection/STDB) |

LVG B.I B.1123/15 is marked on the rudder; number 108 and on the fin and serial 108_/15 is on the fuselage side. There is a gun turret in the rear position and side radiators. This aircraft appears to be a B.I converted to C.I configuration, likely during development of the C.I. Or was the rudder with B-type serial salvaged from an earlier aircraft? (Peter M. Grosz Collection/STDB) |

LVG C.I L.F.143b was assigned to the Navy. Both air and ground crew pose both pose with it before a flight. The tall observer on the right holding a camera is Theo Osterkamp, who became the highest-scoring German naval ace. The pilot next to him is Lt. Wilhelm Mattheus; both were serving in Marine Feldflieger-Abteilung 1 at this time. In this very aircraft, on 6 September 1916, this crew put in a claim for a Farman shot down. In spite of supporting witness statements, most accounts do not credit Osterkamp with what would have been his first victory on this date - though others indicate he might have been credited with it by some authorities. Mattheus also became a fighter pilot in MFJ I, received the Hohenzollern House Order, but died from wounds in late 1917. (Peter M. Grosz Collection/STDB) |

The observer at right with the 25cm hand-held camera is Leutnant Theo Osterkamp, who later became one of the top-scoring naval fighter plilots; he was credited with 31 victories and was awarded Germany's highest military decoration, the Ordre Pour le Merite on 2 September 1918. |

This LVG C.I has been modified with a fixed Parabellum LMG 14 mounted over the wing for the pilot. The clip to secure the flexible gun when not in use is evident behind the observer. (Peter M. Grosz Collection/STDB) |

This Parabellum LMG 14 may be the same one that was usually fitted to the observer's gun ring, and could be dismounted and re-mounted on this fitting allowing the observer to fire it forward and upwards. |

Although this LVG C.I had a Schneider gun ring as usual, it has been fitted with an improvised mounting bracket on the interplane struts that allowed the Parabellum LMG 14 to be lifted off the gun ring and dropped into the bracket to fire forwards and upwards. The gun mounted on the side is a Mauser carbine (Model 15). The gun ring has a backrest (perhaps armored) but this was soon abandoned. Fl. Abt. 23, Roupy Aerodrome. (Greg VanWyngarden) |

LVG C.I piloted by Lt. Hans Ulrich von Trotha. The observer, Lt. Rolf Freiherr von Lersner, is waving to the camera. The "IV.1" legend on the fuselage indicates Kampfstaffel 4 (Kagohl 1), machine 1. The black and yellow bands on the fuselage were an addition, in the von Trotha family colors. Von Trotha was later the Executive Officer of the Gotha G.IV-equipped England Geschwader that bombed London. (Greg VanWyngarden) |
