The Halberstadt CL.II was a two-seat attack biplane flown by the German Luftstreitkräfte during World War I. Designed to supersede the earlier, unsuccessful D.IV, the C.II (later redesignated the CL.II) was pressed into the roles of escort fighter and armed reconnaissance aircraft upon its introduction in May 1917. From then on it proved itself to be a highly capable aircraft, with good maneuverability and rate of climb. 900 aircraft were built in total.

abstract
  • The Halberstadt CL.II was a two-seat attack biplane flown by the German Luftstreitkräfte during World War I. Designed to supersede the earlier, unsuccessful D.IV, the C.II (later redesignated the CL.II) was pressed into the roles of escort fighter and armed reconnaissance aircraft upon its introduction in May 1917. From then on it proved itself to be a highly capable aircraft, with good maneuverability and rate of climb. 900 aircraft were built in total. It was during the Battle of Cambral in November 1917 that the CL.II first demonstrated its effectiveness as a ground-attack aircraft, contributing significantly to the German counterattack. From then on the CL.II was increasingly given the task of close support, or Schlachtstaffeln (battle flights) - a tactic that has become commonplace in combined armed warfare today. The CL.II also participated in the Spring Offensive of 1918, and was retired at the end of the war.
