At times complicating the identification of wartime German aircraft is the fact that German manufacturers not only typically used their own designations; but also sometimes gave their experimental productions unofficial "Idflieg-style" class numbers, perhaps in the hope of production orders, or even built on them. The "Rs" (giant seaplane), and "CLs" (two seater seaplane) designations of the Zeppelin-Lindau company are examples, as are the unofficial "Dr" designations of the experimental Euler triplanes, which in fact were never given official designations.

  • At times complicating the identification of wartime German aircraft is the fact that German manufacturers not only typically used their own designations; but also sometimes gave their experimental productions unofficial "Idflieg-style" class numbers, perhaps in the hope of production orders, or even built on them. The "Rs" (giant seaplane), and "CLs" (two seater seaplane) designations of the Zeppelin-Lindau company are examples, as are the unofficial "Dr" designations of the experimental Euler triplanes, which in fact were never given official designations. The German Navy had their own system for classification of aircraft types, but did not use this, nor the Luftstreitkräfte system, to designate particular aircraft types, preferring to use manufacturers' designations. Airships were totally outside either system, being individually numbered in the same way as German destroyers and submarines, mostly in the "L" series. As well as serving to identify types, the Idflieg type designations were also often included as part of German aircraft serial number markings.
