The Rumpler Tauben.

castiglione:
The Ru Class A aircraft, (two place unarmed monoplane) were in effectual when put in war time conditions, and for the most part disappeared from the Western front by the end of October 1914. Those other Taube types made by other manufacture lasted until mid 1915. The most succesful a.Class machines were Fokkers A.I, (M.8) A.II(M.5L) and A.III(M.5K), and the Gotha A/14 which lasted in to early 1916. The two-seat single engined unarmed biplane replaced the Class monoplanes very quickly on both the Western and Eastern Fronts. Both A and B classes quickly disappeared when the Class C armed two seater appeared in June 1915.
