Early production Rumpler C.IV 6692/16 in factory finish. Other than its use of the Mercedes D.IVa engine and the rounded planform of the lower wings, from the side it looks very similar to a late-production Rumpler C.III. (The Peter M. Bowers Collection/The Museum of Flight)

J.Herris - Rumpler Aircraft of WWI /Centennial Perspective/ (11)
Fitted with the 260 hp Mercedes D.IVa six-cylinder engine, the graceful Rumpler C.IV was as fast as Allied fighters at its ceiling, where few fighters could reach it. It became the premier German long-range photo-reconnaissance airplane. Over-compressed engines designed for more power at higher altitude maintained its edge throughout the war. The Rumpler C.IV airframe was also used for the specialized lichtbild (photo) aircraft.This early-production Rumpler C.IV of Flieger Abteilung 19 is barely distinguishable from a late-production Rumpler C.III. Later production C.IV aircraft discarded the propeller spinner and gained speed due to reduced drag. The high-flying Rumpler C.IV is the best-known Rumpler aircraft of the war and probably the most important.

J.Herris - Development of German Warplanes in WWI /Centennial Perspective/ (1)
The Rumpler C.IV, using the final C.III airframe and powered by the 260 hp Mercedes D.IVa, was the premier German reconnaissance airplane. It could reach high altitude, where it was as fast as Allied fighters - if they could reach it. Subsequent designs combined the same airframe with different engines and equipment for specialized, high-altitude missions.

If the Rumpler C III had proven to be a disaster waiting to happen, its successor from the same stables was just the reverse. Powered by a 260hp Mercedes D IVa, the Rumpler C IV followed closely upon the C III, ensuring that the firm was in a position to continue producing two seaters almost without interruption during the spring of 1917. The C IV, with its top level speed of 109mph at sea level, combined with a superb high altitude capability of 21,000 feet saw the C IV providing stalwart service through to the cessation of hostilities.

An early-production Rumpler C.IV is a fine backdrop for this group portrait; another rests in the background. The high-flying Rumplers were effective German reconnaissance aircraft as they were able to escape most attackers by taking advantage of the ceiling of 21,000ft (6,400m). -

Another view of the 260 h.p. C.IV-type Rumpler biplane. - The annexed illustration, appears to indicate an attempt by the Rumpler firm at better stream-lining, as a hemispherical nose-piece is fitted over the boss of the airscrew, and the sides of the front part of the body are rounded off to gradually carry the curve of the nose-piece into the flat sides of the rear portion of the fuselage. Also, judging by the illustration, it appears that the span is somewhat smaller than in the older type Rumpler biplanes.

Maybach-engined Rumpler C.IV 1423/16 tactical number '4' of Flieger-Abteilung 7. Although having the same tactical number, this may be a different aircraft then that shown above; notice the arrow markings on the upper wings not on the airplane above. Of course, the upper wing arrows may have been added after repair. From this batch onward the type designation, in this case 'C.4', was added to the serial number to distinguish the sub-types of the family. Roman numerals were used after this batch.

Rumpler C.IV 8485/17 of FA(A) 219 wears an interesting camouflage scheme. Like the earlier C.III from which the C.IV got its airframe, the C.IV was lightly designed for minimum weight to maximize climb and ceiling. The result was the airframe had to be locally strengthened a number of times based on operational experience.

Is this a case of before and after? Rumpler C.IV tactical number '3' of Flieger-Abteilung 1 with crew on facing page above and after coming down behind Allied lines in other photos, although the first photo may be a different aircraft. Rumpler C.IV C.8500/16 with 260 hp Mercedes D.IVa was captured on 29 December 1917, brought down at Monchy by ground fire. Given the capture number G.117, it was closely examined and was the basis of the report in Jane's All the World's Aircraft. It is in the early factory finish plus the unit insignia of the arrows on the fuselage sides and top. The eyes painted on the nose are thought to be individual markings. Unfortunately, the photos were taken after the iron cross national insignia had been painted over with roundels.

The crew of this Rumpler C.IV appeal for kindness with their markings "Good People don't shoot". In case that appeal does not work the observer has a machine gun on an unusual straight mounting. One pilot told the author he chose to fly Rumplers instead of fighters because he "just didn't have the heart to dive down on an unsuspecting enemy and shoot him down."

Rumplers flew long missions at extreme altitudes, and their crews were subjected to subzero cold in open cockpits, so heavily-insulated flying gear, often electrically heated, together with protective masks were needed to prevent frostbite. These scenes of crewmen preparing for flight illustrate some of their specialized flight equipment, including electrically-heated flight suits, gloves, and face masks.

Fitted with this powerful engine provided by Austria-Hungary, the airplane was delivered to the Austro-Hungarian Luftfahrtruppen and given serial number 00.01. It crashed and was not repaired. Unfortunately, there is no record of its performance with this powerful engine, but it may have been somewhat nose heavy.

Steve Anderson's evocative painting of the famous Rumpler C.IV, the aircraft for which Rumpler is still known today. C.IV 8424/16 Dalila was from the first C.IV production batch. Only the highest-performance Allied fighters had any hope of intercepting a Rumpler C.IV if it was on a high-altitude reconnaissance mission. At high altitude the aerodynamic Rumpler C.IV was as fast as Allied fighters and had a good chance of besting them in combat.

Румплер C-IV / RUMPLER C-IV
"Троек" построили довольно мало - всего 75 штук, так как уже в конце 1916-го появился еще более усовершенствованный образец - C-IV, оснащенный самым мощным из имевшихся тогда в Германии 260-сильным авиадвигателем. Он также отличался усиленной структурой планера и элеронами с роговой аэродинамической компенсацией.
C-IV выпускался в течение 1917 года на фирмах Румплер, Байру и Германия. На восточный фронт эта машина попала лишь накануне завершения боевых действий. Зато она активно использовалась во Франции, в Палестине и Северной Италии, где на "Румплерах" летали немецкие экипажи в составе австрийских ВВС. Пилоты Антанты считали скоростной и высотный C-IV одним из наиболее "трудносбиваемых" самолетов противника.
