![]() | Albatros DVa The Albatros D.Va was the result of the development and refinement of a long series of successful Albatros scouts. Many noted pilots flew the type in service, and it generally received favorable reviews. Manfred von Richthofen scored many of his victories in Albatros types. He also had the unfortunate experience of being shot down in one. The aircraft is finished in the colors of the aircraft of Hauptman Eduard Ritter von Schleich, Commanding Officer of Jasta 21. Following the death of his close friend Leutnant Limpert, he painted his entire aircraft black and became known as the "Black Knight". Von Schleich survived the war having destroyed 35 enemy aircraft, and received numerous awards for his efforts including Germany's highest honor, the Pour le Merite. |

Sorry for the poor video quality (somewhat grainy/glitchy)but its the only cam we have. Enjoy! Was concernd as with any new plane as to its performance on the first flight. This thing leapt into the air and with only a few clicks of trim s already the best flying plane I own. |

![]() | Pfalz D-XII The Pfalz D.XII, manufactured by the Pfalz Flugzeugwerke, entered service in June 1918. This late World War One aircraft was designed as a replacement for the obsolescent Albatros D.Va and Pfalz D.IIIa. Although regarded by German pilots, such as Stark and von Hippel, as inferior in performance to the Fokker D.VII, it was able to serve adequately in a second line capacity. Pilots claimed that although faster in a dive, it was less maneuverable than the Fokker D.VII; it was, however, able to accompany the latter on missions. Ultimately over 750 Pfalz D.XII fighters were built. The fuselage design was advanced, comprising a layer of veneer strip on top of which was glued a layer of fabric, and then a second layer of veneer strip glued on top of that. Powered by a Mercedes D.IIIa engine, housed behind the Pfalz D.XII's distinctive nose radiator and starboard side exhaust. The D.XII began reaching the Jagdstaffeln, primarily Bavarian units, in July 1918. Most units operated the D.XII in conjunction with other fighter types, but units in quieter sectors of the front were completely equipped with the D.XII. While the D.XII was a marked improvement over the obsolescent Albatros D.Va and Pfalz D.IIIa, it nevertheless found little favor with German pilots, who strongly preferred the Fokker D.VII |
