Albatros D.V "Goring" History:

Polical unrest in Europe after 1910 caused a number of nations to consider the military use of aviation. Following the outbreak of the Great War in 1914, aeroplanes first acted as spotters for ground forces by noting positions of enemy troops and gun emplacements. Later, the technique of aerial bombing was developed. Specially designed fighters then brought the new dimension of air combat to the art of war. Probably the most famous fighters of the War were Britain's SE5a and Sopwith Camel and Germany's Fokker D.VII and Triplane and Albatros D.III. Dogfights over the Western Front brought fame to such pilots as Major Edward Mannock VC , Royal Flying Corps ( 73 victories ) , Baron Manfred von Richthofen of Der Luftstreitkrafte (Imperial German Air Service)( 80 kills ) and the French "ace" Capitaine Rene Fonck ( 75 shot down )

The Albatros D.V was a fighter aircraft used by the Luftstreitkräfte (Imperial German Air Service) during the First World War. The D.V was the final development of the Albatros D.I family, and the last Albatros fighter to see operational service. Despite its well-known shortcomings and general obsolescence, approximately 900 D.V and 1,612 D.Va aircraft were built before production halted in early 1918. The D.Va continued in operational service until the end of the war.
