The DFW T 34-II triplane was developed in parallel with the T 34-I biplane fighter. Both were submitted to the First Fighter Competition but were excluded from flight trials due to a poor field of view for the pilot. The excessive number of struts are clearly shown in this view.

One of the few 190 hp Korting Kg IIIa engines was tested in a Dfw Dr.I triplane.
The DFW T 34-II was a compact triplane with many drag-creating bracing struts. The bottom wing was suspended below the fuselage to give more gap to prevent airflow interference between the wings. No performance data are available. (The Peter M. Bowers Collection/The Museum of Flight) -

Three other triplane fighter essays of 1917 were the rotary-powered Euler Dr I, the 185hp Austro-Daimler powered Hansa-Brandenburg L 16 and the Korting engined DFW Dr I (main picture).
