J.Herris - Development of German Warplanes in WWI /Centennial Perspective/ |
The Pfalz E.V was the only E-type with a water-cooled engine, a 100hp Mercedes D.I. It was faster than the more powerful E.IV but mounted only one gun. Superior biplane fighters were already arriving at the Front and only 20 were built. The pre-war design used by Pfalz was not stressed for combat maneuvers and after some structural failures, all Pfalz E-types were withdrawn from the front. The E V was a Daimler-powered derivative of the E IV, but rendered obsolescent by biplanes. |
