AEG C.IV

Pioneer and Early Aviation Aircraft

The AEG C.IV was a two-seat biplane reconnaissance aircraft and the most successful of AEG's First World War B and C types, with roughly 687 reportedly built. Derived from the C.II with a larger wingspan and a forward-firing Spandau machine gun, it used a steel-tube structure and a 120 kilowatt Mercedes D.III inline piston engine, and the Dutch firm Fokker built it under licence. It entered service with the German air service in 1916, flew as a reconnaissance and bomber-escort aircraft, and was also used by Bulgaria, Turkey and Poland, where it fought in the Polish-Soviet War before withdrawal in the early 1920s.
