| Designed by Dipl Ing Julius von Berg and frequently referred
to as the Berg Scout, the D.I was the first single-seat
fighter of indigenous design to be manufactured in
quantity by the Osterreichisch-Ungarische Flugzeugfabrik Aviatik of Vienna. The prototypes of the D.I were
the Av 30.19, 30.20 and 30.21, and the first of these was
flown on 24 January 1917, differing from the subsequent
production model primarily in lacking armament.
Of wooden construction with ply fuselage skinning and
fabric wing skinning, the D.I entered service with the
Austro-Hungarian Luftfahrttruppe in the autumn of
1917, by which time armament had standardised on
two synchronised 8mm Schwarzlose machine guns.
Initial D Is had the 185hp Austro-Daimler six-cylinder
inline engine, some 140 were built with the 160hp Austro-
Daimler, and 200 and 225hp Austro-Daimlers were
progressively introduced. Some 700 fighters of this
Berg type were manufactured by the parent concern
and under licence by Lohner, Lloyd, Thone und Fiala, MAG and WKF.
