J.Herris Halberstadt Aircraft of WWI. Volume 1: A-types to C.III (A Centennial Perspective on Great War Airplanes 44)

Halberstadt-Bristol Taube I
  
  Also known as the Halberstadt Military Taube, this monoplane was powered by a 100 hp Mercedes D.I six-cylinder engine cooled by side radiators. The wing was braced with a bridge and a u-shaped tension tower. The undercarriage was two main wheels supplemented by two auxiliary wheels and extensive bracing. The airframe was made of wood.
  A small number of these aircraft were built in 1913 at the height of the Taube craze in Germany and work numbers 40, 43, and 44 are known.


Halberstadt-Bristol Taube II Rover
  
  The Halberstadt-Bristol Taube II Rover was a monoplane powered by a 50 hp Argus four-cylinder engine cooled by side radiators. The wings were braced with a truss and the airframe was made of wood. The robust oval fuselage was built based on the Rover patent. Roll control was by wing-warping. The rudder was a double structure above and below the fuselage. The undercarriage had two wheels.
  A few examples were built in 1913/1914.


Halberstadt-Bristol Taube III

  The Halberstadt-Bristol Taube III was a monoplane powered by a 100 hp Mercedes six-cylinder engine cooled by side radiators. The wings were braced with a truss and the airframe was made of wood with oval fuselage built according to the Rover patent. Roll control was by hinged ailerons with actuating cables that strongly resembled earlier Taubes with wing warping. The rudder was a single structure above the fuselage. The undercarriage had two wheels.
  Overall it was a more modern design that the Halberstadt Taube II; a few examples were built in 1914 with work number 53 known.


Halberstadt-Bristol Taube IV
  
  The Halberstadt-Bristol Taube IV was a monoplane powered by a 75 hp Mercedes six-cylinder engine cooled by side radiators. The wings were braced with a truss and the airframe was made of wood. Roll control was by wing warping. The rudder was a double structure above and below the fuselage. The undercarriage had two wheels. In many ways it was a more primitive design than the earlier Halberstadt Taube III.
  A few examples were built in 1914 with work numbers 47, 55, and 84 known. In addition, military serial A. 7/14 is known.
