[edit] History
The aircraft was produced under licence by Aero both during the war, and afterwards (when it became known as the Ae 10). Experience gained with this design would provide Aero with the basis for a number of derivative civil and military designs throughout the 1920s.
Armed developments of the B.I were designated C.I and C.II
