The Albatros C.III was one of the best German two-seaters of WW1. Created as a reconnaissance aircraft it proved capable of undertaking a variety of roles: observation light bombing strafing ground targets and escorting bombers. Introduced at the end of 1915 as an improvement of the successful earlier C.I model it was produced in great numbers and used by many of Germany's allies. Its construction was so robust it remained in service until the end of the war some C.IIIs surviving even after the Armistice.
