Thread: Early and Late Albatros D.V production

  1. #1

    Default Early and Late Albatros D.V production

    Cheers!
    Do anyone know if there is any significant diference between initial production batch (numbered 1000/17 to 1199/17) and second production batch of Albatros D.V (not D.Va)? I'm wondering where was located the upper wing radiator? was it on the centre of the upper wing in both batches? or second batch had radiator moved to the right side like D.Va models?

    Default

    I thought it was only the earlier D.III production runs which had the central radiator? As far as I'm aware starboard offset wing radiators were always the standard for D.V models, aside from the tropical variant with twin (port and starboard) radiators.

  3. #3

    Default

    The obvious difference was the removal of the headrest fairing - often taken off the earlier machines in the field as it interfered with the pilots view.
    The radiator was fitted to starboard as in the D.III, two were fitted to machines operated in Palestine.
    There seems to be no other differences mentioned between the batches other than perhaps where they were made.
