my grandfather died in an AGO C II plane on May 3rd 1916. He crashed from a height of 100 meters while testing the plane on air base Berlin-Johannisthal. My grandfather was chief pilot for AGO plane manufactory. He got his licence on April 8th,1914 on a Jeannin single decker. Accdg. to experts the AGO C II was very difficult to handle.

The only confusion I have is that I've seen pictures of these aircraft with and without nosewheels. So I'm not really sure if I'm looking a C.I, II, or III?

And to think I though TWIN BOOM Designs were a 1930s invention. It kind of reminds me of the recon aircraft we used in VIETNAM---the little twin boom one? OEM 01 Bronco?
The C.11 would have been awesome in a ground attack role, the twin booms providing better stability and I would assume they would absorb ground fire better. I'm suprised they got rid of it as soon as they did (only one year operation). I never seen one before until now!!!
