EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the initial production model of the Albatros D.III German fighter biplane, as it sits on the muddy ground of a wartime airfield. Dated circa 1917, this single-seater aircraft was delivered to Jasta 29, one of the most successful fighter units of the German Air Force during World War I. The Albatros D.III was a formidable opponent in the skies of the Western Front, with its distinctive open cockpit, biplane configuration, and distinctive cross insignia. Its powerful Mercedes D.III engine provided it with a top speed of over 118 miles per hour, making it one of the fastest fighters of the time. With its agile handling and excellent maneuverability, the Albatros D.III was a favorite among German pilots. In this image, the wheels of the plane are down, suggesting that it is about to take off or has just landed. The history of this initial production model is a testament to the pivotal role that the Albatros D.III played in the aerial warfare of World War I.
