Albatros C.XV

what is it?

The Albatros C.XV was a German military reconnaissance aircraft developed during World War I. It was essentially a refinement of the C.XII, which had been put into production in 1918. The war ended before any units became operational. However, some found their way into civilian hands and flew as transport aircraft in peacetime under the factory designation L.47.
