J.Herris - Halberstadt Aircraft of WWI. Volume 1: A-types to C.III /Centennial Perspective/ (44) |
The numbering system for two-seater designs was maintained in order regardless if the aircraft was a C-type or CL-type. Consequently, after its success with the CL.II, Halberstadt's first attempt at a full-size C-type aircraft was the C.III shown here. Although the C.III was a larger, two-bay biplane with 200 hp Benz, some influence from the CL.II can be seen in the observer's gun ring, the large single cockpit offering close seating for better coordination between the crew members, and the shape of the rudder and fin. With the upper wing level with the pilot's line of sight, to provide adequate wing gap the lower wing was attached to a pylon under the fuselage. | J.Herris - Halberstadt Aircraft of WWI.

The rear quarter view of the prototype Halberstadt C.III emphasizes its family resemblance to the Halberstadt CL.II prototypes. The prototype C.III was kept by Karl Their at the Halberstadt factory for his use until the end of the war. It later received late 1918 insignia. (Peter M.
