The Brandenburg 60.56 (Type KDD), shown here in its original form, was, in its day, the ultimate in streamlined design. The pilot was positioned beneath the upper wing in order to make the machine as streamlined as possible, but without the visibility required for a fighting machine. Preliminary flight trials proved disappointing and the aircraft was returned to the factory for modification.

The KDD serial 60.56 on 5 July 1917. The original machine had been modified with the decking on the fuselage being raised to fill the wing gap, the struts have been faired and the stabilizer increased in area.

Because the tapered fuselage sides made it difficult to install a conventional gun ring, the 60.56 was later fitted with a raised turret for the observer, barely visible in this poor photograph.

The Hiero-engined Brandenburg 60.57 (Type KDD) awaiting demolition in 1919. The small V-strut interplane bracing has been eliminated, and to improve longitudinal stability a fin has been added. A raised gun ring is fitted to the observer’s cockpit.

Type KDD
The KDD was a two-seat reconnaissance plane derived from the KD and retaining the star-strut arrangement. The biplane was of typical Brandenburg mixed construction. Armament was a single machine gun. The pilot had limited forward view being enclosed in his cockpit by the upper wing and engine cowling in an attempt to streamline the aircraft. The first prototype, 60.56, was not successful although it underwent considerable modifications, including three changes of wings.
A second machine, 60.57, was built that incorporated all the lessons learned from the first. It too was unsuccessful but survived the war before being destroyed.
