Initials of Ago were those of Aerowerke Gustav Otto
(founded 1912), but the name was first applied in 1911
to products of Aeroplanbau G. Otto and Alberti.
 | | C.II |
Modified
biplane of Gustav Otto (German aviation pioneer,
1883-1926) and developments of Farman design were
early products, but in 1912/13 came a seaplane of original
design, followed by other types. During 1915/16 developed
three pusher reconnaissance types: C.I, C.II ,and C.III with twin tail-booms but showing high efficiency despite
layout.
 | | C.IV |
C.I caused a stir on introduction at the Western
Front by reason of twin-boom design, for which Swiss
engineer A. Haefeli (earlier with Farman) was responsible.
C.IV was tractor biplane with sharply tapered wings; about
70 in service 1917/18. Experimental types included seaplanes.
Ago name disappeared until late 1930s, but during
the Second World War was again current for Ago 192
Kurier light twin-engined monoplane (built 1938).
