Designed by Ernst Heinkel and first flown in 1914, the Albatros B.II was the main German reconnaissance aircraft early in WWI, despite the poor view for the observer who sat in the front cockpit. It was also an important trainer. One B.II was interned in Sweden at the outbreak of the war, and the design was copied and manufactured by several Swedish companies.
