General Characteristics

The LVG C.VI was a German two-seat reconnaissance and artillery spotting aircraft used during the final year of World War I. Designed by Willy Sabersky-Müssigbrodt for Luft-Verkehrs-Gesellschaft (LVG), it was a refinement of the earlier DFW C.V and LVG C.V models. The C.VI was celebrated by its crews for being lighter, more streamlined, and having excellent flying characteristics, including good climb rate and maneuverability, despite being a two-seater. Its construction was mixed, featuring a semi-monocoque fuselage covered in plywood and fabric-covered wooden wings. It entered widespread service on the Western Front in the summer of 1918, and over 1,000 examples were ultimately built.
