# Germania C.I

The Germania C.I was a two-seat general-purpose biplane built by Germania Flugzeugwerke during World War I.

## Design and development

Germania Flugzeugwerke built the C.I as a biplane of wooden construction with plywood and fabric construction. A forward firing Spandau machine gun and Parabellum machine gun were mounted in the aft cockpit.

A derivative of the C.I, the C.II, of which only a prototype was built, differed from the C.I in having staggered mainplanes and a reduced gap.
