AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST
WORLD WAR ERA
Albatros D.IX
The D.IX was Albatros' first attempt to provide a replacement for the
aging D.V/Va. It used a 'SPAD' style wing cellule with tie struts midway
between the fuselage and interplane struts to provide bracing for the
rigging. The D.IX was not a success and crashed while preparing for the
first fighter competition. The fuselage was then rebuilt as the Albatros
D.XII.
