Albatros D.I

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 view from the D.II cockpit was found to be superior, so no further D.I orders followed, but the fifty D.Is and their D.II brothers certainly made an impact.
