The final DFW two-seater design to be completed had the internal company designation F 37; it is thought to have been assigned the military designation DFW C.VII but this is not confirmed. It was powered by a 220 hp Benz Bz.IVa. When fitted with a 260 hp BMW.IV engine postwar it achieved an altitude record of 7,700 m. (Peter M. Bowers Collection/Museum of Flight)

The DFW P.1 was a postwar passenger conversion of the DFW C.VII with cabin for two passengers. Like most aircraft of the time, the pilot's cockpit was open so the pilot could feel the wind and hear the wires more clearly, important clues to aircraft performance given the limited instrumentation. (Peter M. Bowers Collection/Museum of Flight)

The DFW P.1 postwar passenger conversion of the DFW C.VII with cabin for two passengers registered D 187, the only DFW P.1 built. Like the C.VII from which it was derived, the P.1 had balanced ailerons. (Peter M. Bowers Collection/Museum of Flight)

The DFW P.1 was also known as the DFW Limousine and the smiles on these passengers confirm the name was appropriate. The cabin decor was far more luxurious than the Spartan combat aircraft DFW previously built.

This DFW Limousine (P.1) drawing appeared in Flug-Welt in 1919 and provides useful details of the passenger cabin. Interestingly, the wide pilot's cockpit could also hold two crew-members on seats over the fuel tank.
