Albatros D.VII

We keep posting Albatros airplanes.

The Albatros D.VII was a German biplane prototype fighter that flown for the first time in August 1917.

It was powered by a 195hp eight-cylinder water-cooled Benz Bz.IIIb Vee engine and was armed with the usual German pair of 7.92mm machine-guns.

It had ailerons on both upper and lower wings and it had were linked by hinged struts.

When tested, the performance was considered insufficient and further development was cancelled.
