Albatros D.II(Oef)

After the success of the German Albatros D.II and D.III, Austria-Hungary was uncommonly quick in putting licensed copies to use. While it may have been assumed the license would go to Albatros spin-off Phönix, it was actually Oeffag that secured the license.

The Albatros D.II(Oef) was not just a straight copy: the engine was more powerful and the wing was slightly larger. Oeffag D.IIs mostly served on the Russian front where they saw only sporadic action. Only sixteen planes were built in a single series (Series 53). The bulk of the fighting would instead fall on the Albatros D.III(Oef).
