The troops nearby may not realise their danger as there is still an unexploded Cooper bomb on the rack | | Albatros D.II: A very atmospheric shot of the Albatros D.IIs of Jasta 9. | | Albatros D.XI: Another unsuccessful design and one of the few Albatros aircraft to use a rotary engine was the D.XI. This used the highly tempermental Siemens-Halske Sh.III, which was also used in the more successful Siemens-Schuckert D.III series. | | Albatros Dr.I: The Albatros reply to the Sopwith Triplane. A standard D.V fitted with three wings. It was not a success. | | Albatros D.I: Two shots of the first WW1 fighter designed to carry two fixed forward firing machine guns. Seen here is the prototype Albatros D.I. | | Albatros D.I. | | |
