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

Aviatik D III
   Emerging from the Aviatik workshops in late 1917, the D III was another experimental type, and two prototypes were built. Both aircraft took part in the second D types Competition at Adlershof in 1918. During two test climbs to 5,000 m. (16,400 ft.) times of 20.5 min. and 22.5 min. were recorded. In order to obtain an increase in gap, the lower wings were mounted on a small keel extended from the fuselage. As in the D II, the fuselage was plywood covered, the cylinder-heads of the ungeared 195 h.p. Benz IIIb vee-eight motor being left well exposed. Span was 9.0 m. (29 ft. 6 3/8 in.) upper and 8.04 m. (26 ft. 4 5/8 in.) lower, with an area of 21 sq.m. (226.8 sq.ft.). The gross weight was 864 kg. (1,901 lb.).
