Siemens-Schuckert D-III 0 ▲ Shouting Into The Void 1 hour ago · Gaming · hide · 0 comments I'm on a real WW1 aeroplane kick at the moment, so I'm taking advantage of it while it lasts.This next one is the Siemens-Schuckert D-III, from very late in the war. It was very fast and manoeuvrable, and could climb like a rocket, but its huge 4-bladed propeller meant that it had to have very tall undercarriage, making it tricky to control on the ground, and the powerful engine was prone to overheating. The overheating issues were solved in the D-IV, but by then the war was pretty much over. No comments yet. Log in to reply on the Fediverse. Comments will appear here.
