Aviatik (Berg) 30.14

This airplane was the first single-seat fighter to be built by the Austrian Österreichisch Ungarische Flugzeugfabrik Aviatik (the Austrian Aviatik) following the designs of the engineer Julius von Berg.

The Aviatik 30.14, which was the 14th prototype aircraft according to the Austrian Aviatik designation system, was powered by a 185hp Austro-Daimler engine. It was armed with a single 8mm schwarloze synchronised machine gun. It was made out of wood with ply and fabric skinning.
It crashed when performing it's maiden flight in Aspern, close to Vienna on 16th October 1916 killing it's test pilot, Ferdinand Konschel. It did, however, show enough promise to warrant sufficient development of the basic design. That way, the wing gap was reduced drastically, wings were staggered, vertical tail surfaces were enlarged and more minor changes were made building three further prototypes, the 30.19, 30.20 and 30.21. All these prototypes were in fact the forerunner (if not directly the prototype) of the Aviatik (Berg) D.I.
