Austro -Hungarian Albatros Aces of World War 1 Varriale Paolo
Austro-Hungarian industry produced a series of poor fighter types such as the Phonix D I and Hansa-Brandenburg D I during the early stages of the war, and it was not until licence-built examples of the battle-proven Albatros and D II and D III began to reach Fliegerkompagnien, or Fliks, in May 1917 that the fortunes of pilots began to look up. They also displayed superior speed, climb, manoeuvrability and infinitely safer flight characteristics. Unlike the German-built Albatrosen, the Oeffag aircraft were far more robust than German D IIs and D IIIs.
It will also chart the careers of the Austro-Hungarian aces that flew the D II and D III, their successes and their defeats, with additional information about their personal background and their post-war lives in the nations born from the collapse of the Hapsburg Empire. The careful cross-checking of Allied sources with Austrian and German records form the basis for a detailed reconstruction of the dogfights fought by the leading aces.
