In August 1916 a Lloyd C.II with a 160hp Daimler engine was produced in the form of the Lloyd C.III. Eight were produced by Lloyd in the form of the Series 43, but another forty-four were produced by WKF in the form of the Series 43.5, which preceded it. The 43.5 series started appearing at the front in February 1916, and they served for a full year before being withdrawn from operational service.[3]
The C.III was a popular machine on the Italian front, able to withstand severe weather, and a few were flown on the Romanian Front in 1917.[4]
The Lloyd C.III(WKF) was an unexceptional aircraft and inferior to the contemporary Brandenburg C.I, and Daimler engines were often pirated from C.IIIs and installed in Brandenburgs. [5]
