Synopsis

The Albatros was the scourge of the RFC on the Western Front in 1916-17, with pilots of the calibre of von Richthofen, Boelke and Schleich cutting swathes through their opponents.

They were amongst the most effective aircraft employed by the Idflieg (Imperial German Air Service) for much of World War 1, with the D.III and D.Va being flown by most of the 363 pilots who qualified as aces at some point in their often brief careers.

This book tells the story of the pilots that flew the Albatros scouts, well over 4000 of which were built between 1916 and 1918. They were also extensively used by the Austro-Hungarians against Russian, Italian and British aircraft until wars end.
