Albatros DD 890 of the RNAS circa 1915-1916. Brought to the UK in May 1914 for display, it was impressed into the RNAS at the start of the war, used as a Home Defence fighter into 1915, and survived into 1918. A new rudder was fitted. |

Albatros B.II powered by a 120 hp Benz. The design was simple, practical, and robust. The two-bay wing was cheaper to produce and maintain than the three-bay wing of the B.I and gave better performance. The Albatros B I typified the fragility of the early reconnaissance machines fielded by the armies on both sides of the line and on all fronts. Nonetheless, the vital importance of these machines was to be displayed for the all world to see during the five-day Battle of Tannenberg that commenced on 26 August 1914, during which the Russians were rebuffed, with the loss of 30,000 dead and 90,000 captured. |

Another view of the Albatros B.II powered by a 120 hp Benz. First flown in early 1914, this Albatros two seater, along with a slightly smaller version, was adopted by the army as the Albatros B I and B II, respectively. Between them, these two unarmed machines provided most of German aerial reconnaissance capability well into 1915. Thanks to their relatively viceless handling characteristics, both the B I and B II stayed in production, albeit relegated to the training role, into 1917. Power for both aircraft was either a 100hp Mercedes, or a 110hp Benz Bz I, giving the pair a top level speed of around 65mph at sea level. |

Vertical cage rack for 10kg Carbonit bomb on an Albatros B II of Feldflieger Abteilung 32; the release wire leading into the pilot's cockpit can clearly be seen. Due the limited room for these racks on fuselage sides between the side radiator and elevator operating bellcrank, they were often fitted below the fuselage. However, regardless of their position they created a great deal of drag which seriously reduced the aircraft's speed and rate of climb, especially when loaded. |

Korvettenkapitan Goltz, Kommandeur of the FMF, with one of his Albatros B I school machines at Johannisthal. In August 1914 the RMA actioned the pre-war-conceived FMF plan for handling the large number of direct entrants from civilian life required to provide sufficient personnel suitable for training in the trades of pilot, observer and mechanic for both landplane and seaplane units. The FMF was absorbed into the Marine-LandfIieger-Abteilung in October 1915, which formation was then responsible for the supply of personnel to all naval landplane formations. |

Vizeflugmeister Kirmss with Mercedes-powered Albatros B I S77 of I Marine-Landflieger-Abteilung at Morseele aerodrome, May 1915. Naval air observers (land or sea) did not have to hold commissioned rank, as was required in the Army Air Service. The weapon is a 25-shot Mauser Selbstladegewehr (semi-automatic rifle) and its effectiveness, used from the front cockpit, restricted by bracing wires, struts and the rotating wooden propeller, could not have been great; yet this comprised the only armament for the majority of naval two-seat landplanes until August 1915, when examples of the Albatros C I, armed with a machine-gun on a rotatable ring on the rear observer's cockpit, began to arrive. |

A Madsen gun has been fitted to this Albatros B.II. The field of fire for this flexible gun was restricted by the observer's position in the front cockpit. This observer is Oblt. Hans Schilling, a highly decorated observer of FFl.Abt. 22. Schilling was KIA on 4 December 1916, shot down by French ace Charles Nungesser. A carbine was carried to enable the crew to hunt game if forced down behind the lines on the Eastern Front, and perhaps for personal protection regardless of location; this crew is on the Western Front. |

The 145 hp Hiero was used in the Albatros B.I(Ph) 23 series, and many mounted an observer's gun. The Phonix-built Albatros B.I(Ph) was based on the German Albatros B.II. The Company had received its first contract for the type in August 1914 and the first of these reconnaissance machines were with front-line units by March 1915. |

Albatros B.I(Ph) 22.02 of the Austro-Hungarian Luftfahrtruppe serving in a frontline Flik uses the more efficient leading edge radiator to cool its 160 hp Mercedes engine. The Phonix-built Albatros B.I(Ph) was based on the German Albatros B.II although unlike the German-built B.II it was armed from the factory with an observer's flexible machine gun. (Peter M.

An Albatros B.II built by the Swedish Army Air Service workshops at Malmslatt. Powered by a 160 hp Mercedes engine, this particular variant was designated O 2 in Swedish Air Force service, being used as a basic trainer. Serial 519 was originally accepted in November 1923 as serial 3156, before being handed over to Flygvapnet in 1926. In November 1928, it was reserialled as 519, and in January 1932 as 5668 before being struck off charge in January 1935! (Photo: Arlanda Civil Aviation Collection, via Jan Forsgren) |

The application was refused, and the aircraft had in al likelihood left Sweden prior to October 1921. (Photo: Arlanda Civil Aviation Collection, via Jan Forsgren) |

FUSELAGE ECONOMY. - Four members of the Albatros family, all of which are fitted with the same size fuselage. In this manner three different types of land machines can be provided simply by substituting wings of various sizes, whilst the larger size machine is turned into a seaplane by fitting floats instead of the usual undercarriage. |
