While not as numerous or well-loved as the famous Albatroses, the Pfalz D.III/D.IIIa was nonetheless critical to the strength of the German Luftstreitkräfte in the First World War. From a technical perspective the aircraft was innovative and its advantages were proven on the aerial battlefield: several of Germany’s greatest pilots achieved fighter ace status in the cockpit of a Pfalz D.III or D.IIIa.
First World War Aircraft In Scale: The Pfalz D.III and D.IIIa is the definitive book on modelling this iconic fighter. As well as providing detailed information on the aircraft’s design, construction and marking variations, it presents, with extensive illustrations and superb attention to detail, five different builds: Roden’s 1/32 kit of the D.III, and of the D.IIIa, Valom’s 1/144 kit, MAC’s 1/72, Roden’s 1/72 and Eduard’s 1/48. Moreover, via illustrations of the aircraft’s virtual form within the flight simulator game IL2 Sturmovik: Great Battles, this book explores the world of digital paint schemes and their use in model making.
