The DFW C.I biplane reconnaissance aircraft built by the Deutsche Flugzeug-Werke (DFW) during the First World War for the Imperial German Army's Imperial German Air Service. First flown in 1915, the aircraft was built in small numbers. The C.II differed from the C.I by switching the positions of the pilot and observer, placing the former in the front cockpit. Surviving aircraft were withdrawn from front-line units and assigned to training units.
