Hi PFFF:
The Rumpler C.VII was a very high flying photo reconnaissance airplane. It was powered with the Maybach MbIVa 245 Ps engine. It normally flew well above 23000 feet, was fast with 175km/hr at sea level, faster than the Alb.D.Va and PfalzD.IIIa. It was probably the best high altitude photo reconnaissance aircraft in WW1. It was the U2 of WW1.
