         An 
         improved version of the L.V.G. C.I, the C.II two-seater biplane was 
         equipped with a more powerful engine than its predecessor. Entering 
         service in late 1915, the C.II was widely used for reconnaissance and 
         light bombing missions by the German Air Force until 1917. On 28 
         November 1916, an L.V.G. C.II succeeded in reaching London where it 
         dropped six 22 lb [10 kg] bombs on Victoria Station.
