What if the war continued. What was in store for the LFT. Of course this is pure fantasy because of the condition of the Empire but a good what if.

Phonix D.III 222.100 series 230hp Hiero engine
35 more scheduled by Dec 1918, then 20 per month
LFT selecting this aircraft for continued production gives high credit to Phonix engineering and workmanship.
They were still active in Sweden in 1926.

5 in Nov, 40 in Dec then 70 per month afterwards

Albatros D.III 253 series

The LFT was switching to the Fokker D.VII with a 225hp Daimler engine some entered the Hungarian service in 1919 and saw action against Czechoslovakia.
The Aviatik D.I and II and Phonix D.I and II were going to phased out then the Albatros D.III 253 series.

"In Theory, Theory and Practice are the same; in Practice, differences have been observed."

Perhaps they could have built all those acft.; but where are they getting the fuel, and pilots?

Interesting figures John. In the end it was a case of too little, too late.

AH empire was not ready for a modern prolonged war.
