The '''Arado L II''' was a 1920s German two-seat, high-wing touring monoplane.
In 1930, a revised version with folding wings and improved undercarriage, the '''L IIa''' first flew, and four examples took part in the Challenge International de Tourisme 1930, starting from Berlin-Tempelhof airport, but none placed, and one crashed early in the race. Two examples competed in the ''{{ill|Deutschlandflug|de}}'' in 1931.<ref name="histav aradolII">{{cite web |title=Arado L II |url=https://www.histaviation.com/ar_l_2.html |website=www.histaviation.com |accessdate=20 January 2019}}</ref><ref name="Flight">{{cite journal |title=Start from berlin |journal=Flight |date=25 July 1930 |pages=842–843 |url=https://www.flightglobal.com/FlightPDFArchive/1930/UNTITLED0%20-%200890.PDF |accessdate=20 January 2019}}</ref> <!-- ==Development== --> <!-- ==Operational history== --> <!-- ==Variants== --> <!-- ==Aircraft markings== --> <!-- ==Units using this aircraft/Operators (choose)== --> ==Specifications (L IIa)== Data from German Aviation 1919 – 1945<ref name="histav aradolII"/>
