Albatros C . V The Albatros C . V was a German military reconnaissance aircraft which saw service during World War I . Design and development . The C . V was Albatros Flugzeugwerke ' s first revision of their B - and C - type reconnaissance aircraft since Ernst Heinkel left the firm for Hansa - Brandenburg . While retaining the same basic layout as the Heinkel - designed aircraft , the C . V featured considerably refined streamlining . The forward fuselage was skinned in sheet metal and a neat , rounded spinner covered the propeller boss . Power was provided by the new Mercedes D . IV , a geared eight - cylinder engine . Operational history . The initial production version , designated C . V / 16 , suffered from heavy control forces and inadequate engine cooling . Albatros therefore produced the C . V / 17 with a new lower wing , as well as balanced ailerons and elevators . The fuselage - mounted radiators were replaced by a single flush radiator in the upper wing . These changes improved both handling qualities and engine cooling , but the downfall of the C . V was the unreliable Mercedes D . IV engine , which suffered from chronic crankshaft failures . The C . V was therefore replaced in production by the Albatros C . VII .
