New Book from Osprey Publishing
Osprey Publishing has recently released a new book in their Air Vanguard Series, Albatros D.I–D.II. In 1916 German aerial domination had been lost to the French and British fighters. German fighter pilots requested an aircraft that was more powerful and more heavily armed, and the Albatros design bureau set to work on what was to become an iconic aircraft design. By April 1916, they had developed the Albatros D.I, which featured a 160hp Mercedes engine and two forward-firing machine guns. Alongside the development of the D.I, Albratros had also designed and built a second machine that was similar to the D.I—the D.II. Although there were several external differences between the two aircraft, the D.II was not the result of post- combat feedback from D.I pilots; the two designs evolved simultaneously. With the inclusion of these aircraft into their reorganized air force, Germany was able to regain control of the skies by late 1916. Along with the aircraft designs they inspired, the Albatros D.I and D.II were instrumental in allowing the Germans to continue their domination through “Bloody April” and well into the summer months that followed. This 71⁄4 × 91⁄2-inch softcover book contains 64 pages, including black and white photos, full color plates and a fold-out cut-away that should be of interest to modelers.
