Austro-Hungarian industry produced a series of poor fighter types
such as the Phoenix D I and Hansa-Brandenburg D I during the early
stages of the war, and it was not until licence-built examples of
the battle-proven Albatros and D II and D III began to reach
Fliegerkompagnien, or Fliks, in May 1917 that the fortunes of
pilots began to look up. Unlike the German-built Albatrosen, the
Oeffag aircraft were far more robust than German D IIs and D IIIs.
They also displayed superior speed, climb, manoeuvrability and
infinitely safer flight characteristics. The careful cross-checking
of Allied sources with Austrian and German records form the basis
for a detailed reconstruction of the dogfights fought by the
leading aces. It will also chart the careers of the
Austro-Hungarian aces that flew the D II and D III, their successes
and their defeats, with additional information about their personal
background and their post-war lives in the nations born from the
collapse of the Hapsburg Empire.
