Length 4 1/8" Wingspan 5 1/8" Height on wheels 1 ¾" Height on stand 2 ¾" Albatros D.III was a biplane fighter aircraft manufactured by Albatros-Flugzeugwerke and used by the Imperial German Army Air Service (Luftstreitkräfte) during World War I. The D.III was flown by many top German aces, including Wilhelm Frankl, Erich Löwenhardt, Manfred von Richthofen, Karl Emil Schäfer, Ernst Udet, and Kurt Wolff? It was the preeminent fighter during the period of German aerial dominance known as "Bloody April" 1917. 1866 planes were built. Following the successful of earlier Albatros models D.I and D.II series, the D.III utilized the same semi-monocoque, plywood-skinned fuselage, but adopted a sesquiplane wing arrangement broadly similar to the French Nieuport 11 Fighter.
