Though a somewhat older work by this author, I think that it has held up rather well all things considered. It's always somewhat unclear just how mediocre the Pfalz pursuit aircraft really were, and whether they were as bad as all that, or simply didn't meet the standards of maneuverability set by Albatros and Fokker. My suspicion is that they were held back by the relatively stagnant state of German engine development, as these planes just didn't enjoy the power reserves that would have allowed them to use "energy" tactics, and take advantage of their ability to out-dive their opposition.

The Pfalz Flugzeug Werke, located at Speyer am Rhein in Bavaria, was the third in the great triumvirate (along with Fokker and Albatros) of German fighter manufacturers in the Great War. When World War I broke out in 1914, Pfalz initially produced copies of the Morane-Saulnier parasol monoplanes for the German air service. With the advent of the famed Fokker Eindeckers with their synchronized machine guns, Pfalz entered the fighter market with the Pfalz E.I and its successors, all monoplanes which were similarly armed. Though never as as numerous as the Albatros or Fokker designs, the D III/IIIa was flown in combat by many well-known aces: Werner Voss, Carl Degelow, Erich Löwenhardt, and the balloon buster Fritz von Röth, among others. This book examines the little-known aircraft flown by these incredible men. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
