Like the other Hannover \"light-C-class\", or \"CL\" designated aircraft designed by Hermann Dorner, it included an unusual biplane tail, allowing for a greater firing arc for the tail gunner. Until the introduction of the aircraft, such tails had only been used on larger aircraft.Compared to the preceding CL.II, the CL.III had redesigned ailerons with aerodynamic balance areas that overhung the wingtips, a modification that provided greater maneuverability, especially at the low levels that the CL.III was expected to be operating at in its new ground-attack role as the Schutzstaffeln (escort squadrons) were reassigned as Schlactstaffeln (battle squadrons). It was also intended that it should use the excellent Mercedes D.III engine, but the Idflieg gave priority for these engines to fighter production, and most CL.IIIs were produced with the same Argus engine that the CL.II had used. The Argus engined variant was designated CL.IIIa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ministry of Munition Aircraft Productio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178331060X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783310609\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Naval \u0026amp; Military Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/12\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.69h x 8.27w x 0.05d","brand":"Ministry of Munition Aircraft Productio","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47611824308479,"sku":"9781783310609","price":15.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_87c752a2-532a-468e-adce-9169807224cf.jpg?v=1764516309","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/report-on-the-hannoveraner-biplane-ministry-of-munition-aircraft-productio-9781783310609","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
