This B.II was built in 1917 at Zeesen in Germany and went on to serve with the Imperial German Air Force and is the only surviving airframe of its type. At some point prior to 1936 it became part of Hermann Göring's pre-WWII collection that formed the Deutsche Luftfahrtsammlung (German Collections of Aircraft). After several pieces were lost during a bombing attack in 1943, the remainder were crudely cut up, packed onto wagons and tranported east for safekeeping. In 1945 the remnants were discovered in very poor condition near the village of Hammer (now Kuźnica Czarnkowska) by the Polish Army.

The sole surviving frame of its kind.

This aircraft was a development of the LVG B.1 with an uprated engine, 120 rather than 100 HP. It was a 1916 built bomber and reconnaissance aircraft. This unique survivor is unfortunately displayed without wings or an engine in the magnificent Polish Aviation museum.
