J.Herris - Albatros Aircraft of WWI. Volume 1: Early Two-Seaters /Centennial Perspective/ (24)
The first airplane produced by Albatros was the French Antoinette monoplane built under license. The two Antoinettes shown here differ in a number of details, including the engine, propeller, wing design, and landing gear. The Antoinette below carries Albatros markings on the fin. These aircraft appeared in 1909. (Peter M. Bowers Collection/The Museum of Flight)

This Antoinette was photographed at Johannisthal in 1909 and is likely one built by Albatros. Again, this Gnome-powered Antoinette differs from the others in detail, something common during this early period of rapid experimentation and basically custom-built aircraft.

In 1910 Albatros built this Gnome-powered version of the French Antoinette monoplane. In the early pre-war years Albatros built a number of designs from other Companies and used them in competitions to show the benefits of Albatros Company products. This is one of Huth's competition aircraft. (Peter M. Bowers Collection/The Museum of Flight)

Albatros Pre-War Aircraft
To get aircraft production started, Albatros first built licensed French designs. In 1909 the first aircraft build by Albatros was the French Antoinette monoplane powered by a 50 hp Antoinette engine. In 1910 this was followed by an Antoinette powered by a Gnome rotary, then other Antoinette airframes powered by different engines, including a 100 hp Argus.
