Worth the wait, Aviate. Well done - it is indeed the Halberstadt CL IV which I think is still on display at Deutsches Museum, Munich. It was one of the most effective ground attack aircraft of the First World War, relying on its good maneuverability to avoid ground fire, and in service from April 1918.
In an attempt to salvage copyright, could I suggest some more great shots here.

Well done, you have control..

Thanks MP, a warm self congratulatory glow is suffusing through my one remaining brain cell, I will take up the challenge in the very near future, however earning some pennies comes first, so for the present, "Open House" must reign.
PS Having lived in Munich for nearly 3 years and visited the DM I realised that I have stood by the very machine and yet it was only when you kindly widened the view and I saw the wooden slip ring that the "pfennig schlagen Sie den Ventilator".
Cracking Museum btw.

India Four Two
Sorry, a bit obscure I know, but I was trying to indicate that in the latter (closing stages) of WW1 it was a force to be reckoned with and might have made a difference had it seen service say 2 years earlier. Sorry about the grammar..It was a long Sunday...
