In April 1914 the German aircraft manu-facturer Albatros Flugzeugwerke located in Berlin, established a manufacturing company in Wien-Stadlau in Austria. The company became the second largest supplier of aircraft to the Austro-Hungarian Army and Navy. In January 1917 this company changed ownwership and was renamed Phönix Flugzeugwerke AG.
Two famous designers worked for the firm, Edmund Sparmann and the chief designer Leo Kirste. Based on the Hansa Brandenburg D-I fuselage, a developed model with a new wing cellule was created by Edmund Sparmann. This prototype project was completed towards the end of 1916 and in October 1917 the first batch of Phönix D-I was delivered and accepted by the Army.
In March 1918 the D-I was officially replaced by the D-III. The D-III was also delivered to the Navy and was used for the coastal defence in the Adriatic. The D-III was ordered in quantity but arrived to late to reach the battle front. A large number of D-III were sold and delivered to Sweden after the war. |
