Aviatik (Berg) D.I - Foreign Users

The Aviatik-Berg D.I saw also postwar service with various nations after the war.


  • State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs & Kingdom of Yugoslavia: After the armistice of 1918 many airplanes were left-over by the Austro-Hungarian troops and were seized by the forces of the newly created State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia later. They were employed by the Slovenes in the Austro-Slovene conflict in Carinthia of 1918-1919.
  • Romania: Apparently the Kingdom of Romania incorporated some D.I after the war. They were most probably MAG made. However any further detail is unknown, so the pic should be considered as purely speculative.
  • Hungarian Soviet Republic: Some MAG made Aviatik-Berg D.I were used by the Red Hungarian Air Corps during the revolutionary period of 1919.
