Summary:
For some time the Air Service group at Adlershof has been conducting a series of test flights, with the object of accurately determining the comarative performances of new types of airplanes under the same conditions. Airplanes for similar tactical employment were used throughout the experiments, e.g. C1 airplanes with 160 HP engines, C airplanes with 200 HP Benz engines, et cetera Types already in use at the front were also selected for comparison, and these tests give a very accurate idea of the progress shown in a new type, and formed the basis for deciding as to the desirability of its introduction into the service.
