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

Naglo Quadruplane
   Built by Naglo Bootswerft of Spandau, Berlin, in 1918, this experimental single-seater was based on an Albatros D V type fuselage. The manner in which the bottom wing was attached to an extruded keel and braced with splayed struts, completely independent of the three main lifting surfaces, conveys the impression it was added as an afterthought. The machine was listed under serial D 1161/18 as Naglo D II for the second D types Competition at Adlershof in the summer of 1918, but no record of performance figures is available. Design was by Ing. Gradig, who was still with Albatros and, as a result, he was dismissed by that firm. The official type test was undertaken on 24th May 1918, but the machine was rejected at the request of Schubert of Albatros. Engine, 160 h.p. Mercedes D III. Span, 9.0 m. (29 ft. 6 3/8 in.). Area, 22.4 sq.m. (242 sq.ft.). Weights: Empty, 724 kg. (1,593 lb.). Loaded, 914 kg. (2,011 lb.).
