About This File
FS2004/FSX Albatross DVa. The D.V entered service in May 1917 and structural failures of the lower wing immediately occurred. The D.V’s sesquiplane wing layout was even more vulnerable than that of the D III. The outboard sections of the D.V upper wing also suffered failures, requiring additional wire bracing and the fuselage sometimes cracked during rough landings. Owing to these problems, the D.V offered very little improvement in performance to the Albatross D III. Gmax model by A.F. Scrub.
