  • The Albatros D.III was a German, single-engine, biplane scout fighter of World War 1 that saw service from the end of 1916 to the cessation of hostilities and beyond. It is perhaps best known for its role in Bloody April of 1917. This is its story.

    It’s flutter, because unlikr Nieuport’s, they used a single spar on the lower plane

    I'm watching this with my 5 month old. She looked over when she heard your voice. Great video my friend.

    The Spad 7 was in service in 1916 with the 150 hp Hispano Suiza. In late 1917 they started getting 180 hp engines.

    This is an aircraft initially used by famous American Kościuszko squadron which fought for Poland in 1919/20 war with bolsheviks.

    Wasn't the lower wing problem of the D.III and worse D.V one of aerodynamic flutter, mostly due to the V-Strut allowing relatively unimpeded twisting, and a spar not stiff enough in that regard?

    A well researched piece of work, as usual. We look forward to your next presentation. Thank you very much Jerry.

    HI Jerry, please do more WW1 content. It is a change from the WW2 warbirds on UA-cam

    I like your videos but I would suggest that when you are referring to an aircraft that you show the correct plane. For example you're talking about the D III but you have a picture of a Nieuport 11 up for a while - why?

    One of the most sexy aircrafts ever built. N.11 by the way is so cute, like wolkswagen beetle

    Would love to see a video about the experiments with a 20mm cannon on those old planes. I remember hearing that during field tests they were one-shot-one-kill (10 out of 12?), but smoke in the cockpit after firing was too problematic.

    The Austrians built the best Albatross D.3 of the war.They did not have the lower wing failure problems because they strengthen the lower wings and they had much more power for download engines than the german mercedes. Another interesting point is albatross.Also ended up building the fokker D7 and folker didn't produce
