Siemens-Schuckert D.IV

In an attempt to speed up the Siemens-Schuckert D.III and reduce its cooling problems, the Siemens-Shuckert D.IV featured a reduced-chord wing and a cut-away engine cowl. The already-excellent rate of climb was increased even further in the D.IV. Though seen only in small numbers, it was probably the best German fighter at the end of the war, from a technical standpoint.
