The Albatros B.I was a German military reconnaissance aircraft designed in 1913 and which saw service during World War I.
Design and development
It was a two-seat biplane of conventional configuration which seated the observer and pilot in separate cockpits in tandem. The wings were originally of three-bay design, later changed to two-bay, unstaggered configuration. A floatplane version was developed as the W.I.
Operational history
B.Is were withdrawn from front line service in 1915 but examples served as trainers for the remainder of the War.
Operators
- Polish Air Force operated this type postwar.
Survivors
A surviving example is preserved at the Heeresgeschichtliches Museum in Vienna.
