Historical information

The Halberstadt CL.IV is a versatile German aircraft derived from the CL.II design and introduced into service in 1918. It featured a shortened, reinforced fuselage construction, which improved its maneuverability in aerial combat. It was primarily used as a light ground-attack aircraft, escort, and infantry support airplane. After the end of World War I, some units came into the possession of new operators, including the RAF air force during interventions in former East Prussian territories and during the Polish-Soviet War. Aircraft of this type participated in the most important events at the end of the Great War and on the Eastern Front in 1919–1920.
