Oeffag Albatross D.III 153

Another new release the Oeffag Albatross D.III 153.

In the autumn of 1916, Oesterreichische Flugzeugfabrik AG (Oeffag) obtained a licence to build the D.III at Wiener-Neustadt. Deliveries commenced in May 1917. Oeffag engineers noted the wing failures of the D.III and modified the lower wing to use thicker ribs and spar flanges. These changes, as well as other detail improvements, largely resolved the structural problems that had plagued German versions of the D.III.[12] In service, the Oeffag aircraft proved to be popular, robust, and effective. Oeffag built approximately 526 D.III aircraft between May 1917 and the Armistice.

What were the updates?

No major changes, mostly cosmetic changes to the wings/tail ; more pleasing to the eye IMHO

Thanks for the clarification!!! I was wondering myself, thanks Burt.
