Description

The Rumpler C.IV was a German single-engine, two-seat reconnaissance biplane, it was a development of the C.III with different tail surfaces and used a Mercedes D IVa engine in place of the C.III’s Benz Bz IV.  There was also a seaplane version of this aircraft used by the German navy.

For a two-seater reconnaissance aircraft, Rumpler C.IV had an excellent performance, which enabled it to remain in front-line service until the end of WW1 on the Western Front, as well as in Italy and Palestine. Its exceptional ceiling allowed pilots to undertake reconnaissance secure in the knowledge that few Allied aircraft could reach them.

300 aircraft were licence-built by Pfalz as the Pfalz C.1, differing in ailerons on all four wings. From February 1917 they were renamed Rumpler C.IV (Pfal).
