Albatros D.II

When the Albatros D.I and Albatros D.II fighters arrived at the front in late August 1916, they gave Germany a distinct advantage: a strong, high-power fighter with twin guns. Albatros engineers had been working on the two fighters since April, and Idflieg ordered a batch of fifty for each plane. The D.II differed from the D.I by moving the upper wing downward 250mm and using splayed center struts rather than an inverted vee, which improved pilot vision significantly. Early D.IIs came with the same ear-radiators as the D.I, but later D.IIs used a top-wing radiator instead. 275 D.II's were built before production shifted to the Albatros D.III.

Oeffag built sixteen Albatros D.II(Oef) for the Austro-Hungarian air service.
