Albatros C.IX
Type of aircraft / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Albatros C.IX was a two-seated German military reconnaissance biplane from 1917. It was built by Albatros Flugzeugwerke. It did not have a central strut between the upper wing and the fuselage, which was uncommon during the time. Also unusual was that the top wing was swept, while the lower wing was straight.[1] Only three of these aircraft were built.
