Albatros D.II (Oef) série 53
After the considerable success of the Albatros D.II fighter aircraft in the German Air Force, the Austro-Hungarian command expressed a desire to introduce these powerful aircraft into the armament of the Austro-Hungarian Air Force.
The Oeffag company therefore purchased a license for the production of this type and in January 1917 the first flight of the aircraft serial number 53.01 took place (Each aircraft manufacturer in Austria-Hungary was assigned a number starting with its serial number code. In the case of Oeffag, it was the digit 5. This was followed by the numeral assigned to the specific type of aircraft - for the D.II/D.III Albatrosses it was the numeral 3. This was followed by a dot and the number of the specific unit produced. If the machine was produced in more than one modification, the digit of this modification was prefixed to the manufacturer's number - i.e. at the beginning.)
However, the original order of 50 aircraft was quickly cancelled in favour of a more modern design Albatros D.III. Only 16 of the D.II type were therefore built, and they appeared on the front in May 1917.
Technically, the machines differed from the original German model mainly by the installation of a more powerful Austro-Daimler engine with a power of 185 hp. The nose plating, the configuration of the exhausts and cooling system, and the shape of the tail spur were also changed.
The armament, on the other hand, was weaker than that of its German counterpart. It consisted of a single synchronized Schwarzlose machine gun, completely encased on the right side of the fuselage in front of the pilot. The gun had an extended barrel that was routed along the engine under the exhaust manifold.
