Pfalz A.I/A.II - Various users

Because it's been a while since we posted about a German World War I fighter... today we felt like it was the time for it.
The Pfalz A.I was a German parasol single-seat airplane that was a licensed version of the French Morane-Saulnier L.
It was manufactured by Pfalz, that was a Bavarian company founded in 1913. With the outbreak of the World War I, the company received from the Idflieg, the German Empire's bureau for aviation, an order to develop the type L, under the denomination of A.I, as it was the first aircraft of the company.
It was phisically identical to the Type L but it had different celluliod covering on the wings that rendered them sem-transparent, giving that way, much better upwards visibility. It was powered by a single Oberursel U.0 7-cylinder radial engine that delivered 80hp of power that was also similar to that of the Gnome-Rhône as it was another licensed produced version of that engine.
The Pfalz A.II was a developed version of the A.I that featured an improved engine, it was powered by a 9-cylinder Oberursel U.1 delivering 100hp of power, and some of them were armed with machine guns, making them some improvised fighters.
They were used by the Luftstreitkräfte during the early stages of the World War I in observation and reconnaissance roles in the western front, but also in the opening stages of the Alpine front against Italy when this country entered into the war. Apparently at least one of them ended on Swiss soil and was seized by its authorities. Apparently the Ottoman Empire also used them.
