The LVG D.III was built in mid-1917 and used a 185 hp Mercedes D.III. The design was more conventional than the earlier LVG fighter prototypes. (Peter M. Grosz Collection/SDTB)
The D III was considered too large and heavy by the Idflieg to warrant production. -

From the rear the LVG D.III still somewhat resembles the early Albatros D.V in general, but the wings and bracing look more distinctive than in the factory photograph when the planform is more visible. (Peter M. Grosz Collection/SDTB)

The LVG D.III being built in mid-1917. Other than the struts replacing the landing wires it looks very conventional. In fact, it looks a lot like the early Albatros D.V with headrest except the lower wing is larger and used two spars. The N-struts are also noteworthy, preceding their use in the Fokker D.VII.

L.V.G. D III
In this 1917 experimental single-seat fighter an attempt at semi-rigid bracing was made in that the landing wires were replaced by struts, although flying wires remained. The gap-filling fuselage of the two previous types was abandoned, although the plywood covering and monocoque-type construction was retained. Wings were of conventional type, with fabric covering, but of considerable span for a single-seater. The lower tips were rounded, the upper tips slightly raked and with horn-balanced ailerons. Engine, 190h.p. N.A.G. III. Span, 10.0 m. (32 ft. 9 3/4 in.). Length, 7.53 m. (24 ft. 8 1/2 in.). Height, 2.92 m. (9 ft. 7 in.). Area, 26.2 sq.m. (283 sq.ft.) Weights: Empty, 816 kg. (1,795 lb.). Loaded, 1,071 kg. (2,356 lb.). Speed, 175 km.hr. (109.375 m.p.h.). Climb, 5,000 m. (16,400 ft.) in 25 min. Duration, 2 hr. Armament, twin Spandau machine-guns. Official type test May-June 1917.
