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

Aviatik D VI

Benz IIIb vee-eight motor, which was installed with a large square car-type radiator on the nose. Normal wooden construction was used, with ply-covered fuselage and fabric-covered flying surfaces. Only one D VI was built, and it was soon succeeded by the D VII, but it took part in the second D types Competition and recorded a climb to 5,000 m. (16,400 ft.) in 20.3 min. and 17.1 min. on two different attempts. The loaded weight for the climbs was 920 kg. (2,024 lb.). Armament, twin Spandau machine-guns.
