This appears to be the only picture of this aircraft in Guido's album. I was wandering if anyone knew any history on this paticular machine or even possibly what the photo session was all about.? BTW I've been keeping notes on all the replies to my inquiries and have accumulated a lot of good history on Guido, so if you don't mind the questions, I sure appreciate the answers. Cheers.

Crash,
The phone number, A 5830 under the C.I 103x/xx appears to be the same as that on Beobachterschule Cöln Alb. C.III 4057/16. If I'm not mistaken, the lady in this picture is seen in other photos from Guido's album [See Guido23.jpg and Guido25.jpg] ...it looks to me at least that it's an informal visit from perhaps... Frau Scheffer ? VBR Rod

Crash:
It is a Rumpler C.I 103X/15 from a production order of 30, serial number C.1030 to 1049/15, probably ordered in September 1915. Blue skies, Dan-San |

Want a quick hint at IDing Rumpler C-type aircraft? You can easily tell a Rumpler C.I (also, C.III, IV, etc.) by the radiator shape. It is a semicircular shape that was a Rumpler identifying hallmark and not seen on other makes of aircraft.
