No WWI Fighter Threads?

[Mustang1957]

I was searching the forum for Threads for unbuilt WWI fighters and Found nothing.Is There no intrest in this? I thought with the anniversory Of WWI coming soon there would be at least afew?

There certainly is interest and there already are threads dealing with WW I fighter project, e.g.here
http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,12923.msg172611.html#msg172611,
but, I admit scattered around and probably not always easy to find.
If you have stuff, just post it, but a generic thread "WW I fighter projects" certainly would become
cumbersome quite quickly, so I would suggest something like "Dornier WW I Fighter Projects",
or the like.

Thanks Jemimba. I Do have an intrest in the little known german Aviatik Fighters.

Hi Mustang,


I know a little known Aviatik aircraft,but not fighter as I guess,called Type A or Eindecker,
it was a monoplane of 1912,powered by single Argus engine,only one aircraft was built,
not to be confuse with Aviatik 1912 designs.

Thanks Hesham. James Miller Has a Series Of WWI Aviation Books On Different German AC Builders And One Is Aviatik.[Just Found Out] I Think There Is Also One For Roland. Cheers, Dale

Hi Mustang,


only the LFG Rolland D.VIII,D.X,D.XI and D.XII are not known.

The LFG Roland D.VIII was the second D.VII prototype fitted with a geared version of the Benz Bz.IIIb, the Bz.IIIbm.
