- Aviatik (Berg) D.II
__NOTOC__
The Aviatik (Berg) D.II, also known as the Aviatik 30.22, was an Austro-Hungarian fighter prototype towards the end of the First World War.
Development
The D.II's fuselage was virtually identical to that of the Aviatik D.I. It was characterised, however, by its short-span cantilever lower wing. Through 1917, 19 D.IIs were built for front-line evaluation. They were either powered by the 200 hp Series 39 engine or the 225 hp Series 339 engine, both made by Austro-Daimler. The propeller was a four-bladed Jaray, and armament consisted of the usual paired 8 mm
Schwarzlose machine gun s.Operational history
The first three series aircraft were tested in November 1917, and seven were evaluated at the front later in that year, showing good promise. However, the decision was made that Aviatik should instead produce the
Fokker D.VII , and any plans to continue production of the D.II were halted.Operators
