On display at the Museum of Flight. This rare survivor was built by Thöne und Fiala in 1918. Known as the Berg D.I after its designer Julius von Berg, the type entered service with the Luftfahrttruppen late in World War I. The D.I with a pair of synchronized 8mm Schwarzlose MGs was first flown by Fluggeschwader I (FLG I). The distinctive car-type radiator rounded on top can be seen behind the Knoller-Jaray propeller, but cooling was always an issue. The fighter was mainly used as an escort for reconnaissance aircraft. Frank Linke-Crawford, Julius Arigi and other aces flew the Berg Scout. This photo is copyright © Arjun Sarup, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
