Would that be a Halberstadt D2 or 3?

What is it???

Franzkait:
My first thought it was an LVG.C.V fuselage, however the LVG C.V front former is round , not an oval as this is. Next it has a horizontal knife edge at the rear of the fuselage. The forward sides are rounded. There are several possibilities, AEG. DJ.I, AEG.P.E.and the Zep.C.II. I will select the Zep.C.II.
Blue skies,
Dan-San
P.S. Franzkait do you have a 3 view drawing of the DFW C.II?

Dan-San,

Didn't the Zepp C.I-IV use a metal sub-structure (duralumin) and not wood? Thought they were metal skeleton/fabric covered. This looks wooden.

Dan-San,

I have aport-side photo of a DFW C-II. The Caption reads "The C-II was withdrawn from service because of its instability"

Fuselage type

Franzkait,

Could this be an Ansaldo type fuselage?

Very Best Regards,

FliegerJG1
