Roland C.III

   The Roland C.III was a development of the C.II with conventional two-bay interplane struts replacing the streamlined, single-bay I-struts of the C.II. While the I-struts aided streamlining, they also obscured the view to the sides and the conventional struts improved the view for the crew. The C.III also was fitted with the more powerful 200 hp Benz Bz.IV engine typically used in second-generation C-types like the DFW C.V, etc. The C.III remained a single prototype and was destroyed when LFG's Adlershof factory burned down on 6 September 1916.
