Pfalz D.VIII

The Pfalz D.VIII was a German World War I fighter aircraft.

Development
The D.VIII was approved for production arising from German initiatives in 1918 to develop superior fighter aircraft. Its power unit, the Siemens-Halske Sh.III rotary enabled the type to achieve a top speed of 120 mph at sea level. Armament was twin 7.92mm Spandau machine guns.

Production
Forty units were completed but as this was very near the end of the war, they were used mostly for evaluation purposes.
