The
Pfalz D.III
was first flown in the summer of 1917. It was an unequal span biplane with a 180-hp Mercedes engine, and had an open cockpit for the pilot beneath a cut-out in the trailing edge of the upper wing. The Pfalz D.III entered service on the Western Front in late 1917. When production ended, it was estimated that more than 600 had been delivered
The most pressing complaint about the new Pfalz was that the guns were buried in the fuselage, preventing pilots from clearing gun stoppages in flight.
This feature had been carried over from the earlier Roland designs.
In November 1917, Pfalz responded by producing the slightly modified
D.IIIa
, which relocated the guns to the upper fuselage decking.
The D.IIIa was distinguishable by its enlarged semicircular horizontal stabilizer
and cropped lower wingtips.
It also featured a more powerful version of the Mercedes D.III engine.
