ALBATROS D.ll (LVG)
During early months of 1916, the German Fokker
monoplane fighters became be outclassed by new allied
fighters, DH 2 and Ni 11. The German response was the
introducing of the new biplane designs, which reached
front line in Spring of 1916. The Albatros company
introduced it's new design of the streamlined and heavy
weaponed fighter with some delay, but these fighters
with slightly modernized desing remained in frond line
service until the end of the war. Albatros D.ll was
designed together with two very similar Albatros
designs, D.I and D.lll. All these aircraft have had very
similar fuselage, the same engine, what was different
was the wing. The wing of the D.I was similar like D.lls
wing, but upper wing of the D.ll's was located lower,
with new N type cabane struts. This possition allowed a
good pilots view to front and up of the aircraft, and also a
very good access to the two machine guns. The
fuselage was not only streamlined, but thanks to the
plywood cover also very rigid. Engine was 160 hp
Mercedes D.lll, which gave all of the Albatros D type
fighters high speed and excelent climbing ability among
the other German and allied fighters of the1916. The
Albatros D.lls reached front line in early Autumn of the
1916 to equipe the newly organized fighter units, called
"JASTAs". With the new weapon, and the new
organization, German Air Force outclased the allied air
forces during Spring of 1917. Altogether 275 Albatros
D.lls were built, 75 of them by LVG company. The early
series of the D.lls, and all aircraft produced by LVGI,
were equiped by ear type side radiators. Late aircraft
had the radiator mounted in centre of the upper wing.
Albatros D.ll was also produced in Austria by Oeffag
company as Oeffag Series 53. These Austro-Hungarian
Albatros D.lls were powered by 185 hp Austro-Daimler
engine.
Zacatkem roku 1916 byly nemecke stihaci
jednoplosniky vykonostne pfekonavany novymi
spojeneckymi stihackami DH 2 a Nieuport 11.
Nemeckou odpovedi na tento stav bylo zavedeni
novych stihacich dvouplosniku. Firma Albatros
pfedstavila sve nove konstrukce s jistym zpozdenim
oproti ostatnlm vyrobcum, zato vsak s vetsim
uspechem. Albatros D.ll byl vyvijen vestejnedobejako
dve dalsf konstrukce, Albatrosy D.I a D.lll. Vsechny tyto
stihacky mely podobne, aerodynamicky fesene trupy, a
stejne motory Mercedes D.lll. Lisily se konstrukcf
nosnych ploch. Kfidlo Albatrosu D.I bylo podobne kridlu
D.ll, ale horni krfdlo D.ll bylo umisteno nize, na novych
vzperach typu N. Toto umisteni umozfiovalo pilotovi
lepsivyhled kupredu nahoru a lepsipfistup kezbranim.
Vyzbroj byla oproti jinym stfhacim typum te doby velmi
silna, dva synchronizovane kulomety LMG 08/15 raze
7,92 mm. Prestoze byla robustni konstrukce Albatrosu
pomerne velka a tezka, stroje dosahovaly, diky silnym
motorum Mercedes, relativne vysoke rychlosti a dobre
stoupavosti. Move Albatrosy D.ll byly dodany na frontu
na podzim 1916. Byly jimi vyzbrojeny nove
organizovane stihaci jednotky, nazyvane JASTA. S
novou vyzbroji a novou, efektivnf organizaci, pak
nemecke letectvo na jafe 1917 ziskalo na nekolik
mesicu vyraznou pfevahu nad spojeneckymi
vzdusnymi silami na zapadni fronte. Celkem bylo
postaveno 275Albatrosu D.ll. 75 znich vyrobila v licenci
tovarna LVG. Stroje prvnich serii, a vsechny stroje
vyrobene LVG, byly vybaveny chladici na bocich trupu.
Stroje pozdejsich serii byly vybaveny modernejsim a
ucinejsim chladicem, umistenym v centroplanu horniho
kfidla. Albatros D.ll byl rovnez vyrabeny v RakouskoUhersku jako Oeffag Serie 53. Rakouske Albatrosy byly
pohaneny motorem Austro-Daimler o vykonu 185 k.
