Hi,

the Luftverkehrsgesellschaft m.b.H. (L.V.G. or LVG) was a German aircraft manufacturer based in Berlin-Johannisthal, which began constructing aircraft in 1912,
building Farman-type aircraft. The company constructed many reconnaissance and light bomber biplanes during World War I.

I will display all of its aircraft list later,but now I talk about D series,there was two sequences for it,one was by Roman number and anther was by Arabic number,
here it';

- D.1,D.11,D.III,D.IV,D.V & D.VI

-
For this serial,all were not known ?;
D.1,D.3,D.4 (B.I),D.4 (C.I),D.4,D.5,D.6 (B.II),D.9 (C.III),D.9w,D.10,D.11 (C.IV),D.12 (D.II),D.13,D.14 & D.15 (C.V).

Can anybody complete the rest ?.

Many thanks to you my dear Tuizentfloot,

and please what was those aircraft; D2,E2 to E4,E6 and Torpedo-Versuchsflugzeug 1915 ?.
 
D2: another 1912 Farman copy
E2, E3, E4: other Nieuport copies with different engines
E6 = E I: experimental two-seat armed monoplane, abandoned after crash
Torpedo-Versuchsflugzeug: 1915 experimental biplane for torpedo experiments. No designation known. Essentially a three bay variant of the C I with split undercarriage.

By the way, I noticed a typo in my list above. D14 C V (= D15) should be:
- D14
- C V (= D15)
 
Thank you my dear Tuizentfloot,

and if you know any aircraft or projects never mentioned in our lists,please display them ?.
