| The Dr.I was essentially a D.V fuselage, tail surfaces
and undercarriage married to three pairs of wings, and
flown in the summer of 1917 for comparison trials with
the standard biplane. Powered by a Daimler D IlIa
engine, the Dr.I proved to offer no advantage over the
D.V, and progressed no further than prototype evaluation.
Armament consisted of the usual pair of
7.92mm machine guns.

| Klaatu, e-mail, 28.05.2011 05:12 The highly successful advent of the Sopwith Triplane over the Western Front initiated a triplane craze in the German aviation industry. Just about every German aiecraft manufacturer produced at least one triplane fighter. The most successful was the famous Fokker Dr-1. This one, basically an Albatros D-V with three wings, proved considerably less so. reply |
