Albatros D.VII
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Albatros D.VII was a German prototype single-seat fighter biplane flown in August 1917. It was powered by a water-cooled Benz Bz.IIIb V8 engine developing 195 hp, armed with two 7.92 mm machine guns and had ailerons on both upper and lower wings linked by hinged struts.
The D.VII's performance was deemed an insufficient advance over existing aircraft to justify further development.
