The DFW C.V was also licence built by Aviatik, Halberstadt and LVG so that by the end of WWI the type was the most numerous German multirole aircraft in service. This is the only surviving example of the C.Vc training variant. It once belonged to Herman Göring's private collection, the Deutsche Luftfahrtsammlung (German Collections of Aircraft), exhibited near the pre-WWII Berlin railway station. After several pieces were lost during a bombing attack in 1943, the remaining planes were hurridly and crudely dismantled and transported east. After the war they became part of this great museum.

Built (under license) in 1917 at the Aviatik Works as a 2-seat reconnaissance aircraft. Used as training aircraft for the Polish Air Force until 1923. This is the sole remaining DFW C.V, out of an estimated production of 3250 aircraft.

This is another of the marvellous collection of WW I aircraft at the Polish Aviation Museum. Unfortunately most are displayed without wings.
