The Hannover series of biplane aircraft were constructed by Germany during World War I. Two classes existed, a C-series of two-seater reconnaissance aircraft, and a CL-series of fast two-seater, multi-role aircraft, primarly used as escort fighters.http://www.constable.ca/HannoveranerC.htm

Hannover CL aircraft included an unusual biplane tail, allowing for a greater firing arc for the tail gunner.http://www.csd.uwo.ca/~pettypi/elevon/gustin_military/db/ger/HANNOV00.html Until the introduction of the aircraft, such tails had only been used on larger aircraft.http://home.earthlink.net/~scottbeth/Redbaron/planes/hannoverCL2.htm
