AEG C.II
The AEG C.II was a two-seat biplane reconnaissance aircraft built by the Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft (AEG) during the First World War for the Imperial German Army's (Deutsches Heer) Imperial German Air Service (Luftstreitkräfte). It was ordered in late 1915 as a better-performing version of the C.I resulting from a smaller and lighter structure. The effort to lighten the aircraft compromised its structure which led to repeated failures during static load testing and relegated it to training and testbed duties.
