HISTORY

 

Albatros-Flugzeugwerke was a German aircraft manufacturer best known for supplying the German airforces during World War I. The company was based in Johannisthal, Berlin, where it was founded by Walter Huth and Otto Wiener on December 20, 1909. It produced some of the most capable fighter aircraft of World War I, notably the Albatros D.III and Albatros D.V.

 

The company was founded in Berlin-Johannisthal the end of 1909, by Enno Walther Huth, as Albatros Werke AG. The initial activity of the company was the licensed production of French Antoinette monoplane. He also produced some versions of the Etrich Taube monoplane , including a biplane called Albatros Doppeltaube.

 

In 1912 five Albatros F-2 were built. This was a modified version of the French Farman III biplane (therefore the letter F) with gondola for the crew and an Argus in-line engine instead of the original Gnome rotary engine. Four of these planes were sold to Bulgaria and they took active part in the Balkan wars of 1912-1913. One of them performed on October 16, 1912 the first military mission in the skies of Europe. About 10,300 aircraft were produced during World War I.

 

Albatros-Flugzeugwerke continued to operate until 1931, when it was merged into Focke-Wulf.
