Aviatik B.III

Though it was first ordered in April 1915, long delays and aerodynamic troubles delayed the Aviatik B.III for many months, and first front-line deliveries did not occur until February 1916 when it was assigned to six Fliks on the Eastern Front. It was sluggish and unstable in windy weather, and it was withdrawn to training duties in the summer of 1916. It was Aviatik Series 33.
