Albatros D.V / D.Va, History
The Albatros D.V was a fighter aircraft built by the Albatros Flugzeugwerke and used by
the Luftstreitkräfte (Imperial German Air Service) during World War I. 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 April 1918. The D.Va continued in
operational service until the end of the war.
Over 4,600 Albatros D series fighting planes were built of which just two survive today, both
D.Va’s and these are to be found at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C.
and at the Australian War Memorial, Canberra.
