Confusion.
[edit]- Clearly there is some confusion between two completely different aircraft, both built by Zeppelin, but with different designers.
- The Zeppelin C.II, designed by Jaray, had an aluminium structure, but fabric covering and a semi-eliptical wing and lots of curves.
- That is this aircraft, which Dornier had zero connection to:

- The Zeppelin-Lindau CL.II, designed by Dornier, with a mostly stressed-skin aluminium structure, which looks like the box the C.II came in, thusly:

- The CL.I was similar to the CL.II (which was originally designated the CL.Ia), but had the radiator in the upper wing and a slightly differently shaped rudder, while the C.I was similar to the C.II but had a horn balance on the rudder.
- Of the four types, only the C.II saw any significant production (23), as a small number went to the Swiss AF.
