The Albatros C.XIII was a close support aircraft developed from the D.Va fighter. It was basically a two-seat version of that aircraft, but with a 3ft wider wing span and a slight increase in length. The C.XIII had a less powerful engine than the D.Va, and was heavier, but its top speed was only reduced by around 3mph. The C.XIII retained the elegant streamlined fuselage of the D.Va, and its wing structure with the upper wing close to the fuselage. One prototype was built during 1917 but the type didn’t enter production.
