The Albatros C.IV, given the company post-war designation L.12, was a German two-seat military reconnaissance biplane built in the autumn of 1915 by Albatros Flugzeugwerke. It was based on the Albatros C.III and shared its fuselage, landing gear and tail section with that aircraft, while the wings and cockpit were redesigned so that the pilot sat in the rear cockpit. Testing in 1916 did not give the results the changes were expected to bring, and the project was abandoned in favour of a more promising prototype that became the Albatros C.V. It carried a forward-firing LMG 08/15 machine gun and a rear-firing Parabellum MG14, and was powered by a 118 kilowatt Mercedes D.III inline piston engine.
