Description
DFW C.V was very popular german reconnaissance aircraft in World War I. Total 3955 aircraft of this type were build during war so its little surprising that very little documentation survived on the C. V and this aircraft is almost forgotten. DFW C. V was so needed that production was extended and plane was manufactured by : DFW company, Aviatik company, LVG and Halberstadt.
Plane on the picture is CV 799/17 of Flieger Abteilung 7 which despite number "7" wasn't lucky and was shoot down on July 1917 near Armentieres by pilots of 56 squadron. Plane was damaged but was able to land on enemy territory and was captured by British. The white arrow on this machine was the unit marking of FL. Abt. 7 and was seen on other two seaters of the unit. Model created by me in blender. Painting scheme is rather realistic however colours are just theoretically correct. ( only colours of wings and lower surfaces are mentioned in reports )
