O.Thetford, P.Gray German Aircraft of the First World War (Putnam)

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.
