Rumpler C.VII

The Rumpler C. VII was a military reconnaissance aircraft built in Germany during World War I. It was developed from the C. IV and optimised for high-altitude missions that would allow it to operate at heights that would render it immune to interception by enemy fighters. Work on the C. VII took place after a similar attempt to develop the C. III into a high-altitude machine as the C. V failed.

Rumpler C VII Development of the C IV, with even better high-altitude performance. Crews were equipped with heated suits and oxygen.1
