AEG C.III
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The AEG C.III was a two-seat biplane reconnaissance aircraft, a single prototype of which was built during World War I. The aircraft featured an unusual fuselage design that completely filled the gap between the upper and lower sets of wings, in the hope of providing the pilot and observer with better fields of view. This was not as successful as had been hoped, and AEG's next design would return to more conventional ground.
