The Albatros L 69 was a two-seat German trainer aircraft of the 1920s. It was a single-engine parasol-wing monoplane of conventional configuration that seated the pilot and instructor in tandem, open cockpits.
In 1925, Albatros' test pilot Kurt Ungewitter won Class D in the Deutsche Rundflug ("Round Germany") in an L 69a, and he was killed in the crash of one two years later.
The "Round-Saxony" flight Class D was won by a Bristol-engined Albatros L.69, piloted by Student at an average speed of 165 km/h.[1]
