FS98 Albatros G.III Grosskampfflugzeug, 1917

Limited production version of Albatros Flugzeugwerke´s little known medium sized, twin engined tactical bomber biplane, based on their 1916 G.II prototype. It entered service in Macedonia and elsewhere in 1917. Powered by two 230 hp Benz Bz IV engines, it had a payload of 704 lb and a top speed of 81 kt. Like the Rumpler G Series, it was faster and easier to fly than the more famous Gotha, AEG or Friedrichshafen G Series bombers. Custom panel, AFX and PCX source files included. Textured by Udo Entenmann. Sounds from RUMPLER1.ZIP recommended. By Stephan Scholz.
