O.Thetford, P.Gray German Aircraft of the First World War (Putnam)
Aviatik C IX
Three prototypes were constructed during 1918 (6306/18-6308/18) and differed mainly in the shape of the tail surfaces. One aircraft had ailerons on the top wing only; the other had ailerons at all four wingtips. Airframe 6307/18 was tested to destruction at Adlershof over the period 13th to 18th June 1918. Engine, 200 h.p. Benz IV. Weights: Empty, 980 kg. (2.156 lb.). Loaded, 1,340 kg. (2,948 lb.). Speed, 160 km.hr. (100 m.p.h.). Ceiling, 4,500 m. (14.760 ft.). Armament, one Spandau and one Parabellum machine-gun.

J.Herris - Aviatik Aircraft of WWI /Centennial Perspective/ (10)
An Aviatik CIX Biplane of late 1918 design. Evidently an attempt to use the characteristics of the "Bristol Fighter." (200 h.p. Benz IV engine). Two built.
The Aviatik C.IX was the last Aviatik C-type built. The aircraft above is probably the first of three prototypes. -
J.Herris - Aviatik Aircraft of WWI /Centennial Perspective/ (10)
The aircraft, which features an enlarged rudder, is probably the second of three prototypes.

K.Delve - World War One in the Air /Crowood/
The Aviatik CIX entered tests in the first part of 1918. Powered by a 200hp Benz IV the aircraft had a top speed of 100mph (160kph) and a ceiling of 14,760ft (4.500m) - quite inadequate for the period.

J.Herris - Aviatik Aircraft of WWI /Centennial Perspective/ (10)
The Aviatik C.IX used the same 200 hp Benz Bz.IV engine used in the earlier C.II but was much more advanced aerodynamically.This aircraft, probably the third prototype of the three built, has ailerons on all four wings connected by actuating struts for higher roll rate and improved maneuverability. A nose radiator was used in the C.IX. The late-style crosses verify the date as sometime in 1918.
