The Halberstadt Cl.II was a highly successful lightweight two-seat escort fighter and ground support aircraft. Incorporating many features learned from their single seat fighters, in November 1916 Halberstadt started work on 3 prototypes built to Idflieg’s new lightweight C class (C = armed two-seat) specifications. The result was the sleek 160hp Daimler-Mercedes D.III powered Halberstadt Cl.II (the lower case ‘l’ standing for leicht “lightweight”) and the first prototype 9902/17 was completed in April 1917.

Design of the RAF RE.8 (Royal Aircraft Factory Reconnaissance Experimental 8) began in late 1915 as a replacement for the pre-war lineage BE series of two seaters. Utilizing many components from the BE.2e such as wings, undercarriage and tailplane, the main design difference of the RE.8 was the addition of a forward firing machine gun for the pilot and moving the passenger (observer-gunner) to the rear of the pilot.
