    ~ 1930’s Givejoy Toys Skybirds Model Of WW1 Albatros C III Fighter Aircraft ~

    The Albatros C.III was a German two-seat reconnaissance and artillery spotting aircraft used during World War I. It was a part of the Albatros C-series, which included various reconnaissance and observation aircraft. Here’s a brief history of the Albatros C.III:

    Development:

    1. Origins: The Albatros C.III was developed by the Albatros Flugzeugwerke during World War I. It was designed as a successor to the earlier Albatros C.I and C.II reconnaissance aircraft.

    2. Design: The C.III featured a biplane configuration with a crew of two, typically consisting of a pilot and an observer/gunner. It had a wooden frame with fabric covering and was powered by a variety of engines, including the Mercedes D.III inline-six engine and the Benz Bz.III rotary engine.

    Performance:

    1. Speed and Range: The Albatros C.III had a top speed of around 98 mph (158 km/h) and a maximum range of approximately 270 miles (435 km), making it suitable for reconnaissance and observation missions.

    2. Armament: The aircraft typically carried a defensive machine gun for the observer/gunner to engage enemy aircraft, and it could also carry a small bomb load for offensive operations.

    Operational Service:

    1. Reconnaissance: The primary role of the Albatros C.III was reconnaissance. It was used to gather vital information about enemy troop movements, artillery positions, and other valuable intelligence.

    2. Artillery Spotting: The C.III was also employed for artillery spotting duties. Observers in the aircraft would communicate with ground artillery units to adjust fire onto enemy positions accurately.

    3. Longevity: The Albatros C.III entered service in 1916 and remained in use throughout World War I. It served on both the Western Front and the Eastern Front.

    Legacy: The Albatros C.III was known for its reliability and effectiveness in its intended roles. It contributed to the overall reconnaissance and artillery spotting efforts of the German Army during World War I.

    Post-War: After World War I, many Albatros C.III aircraft were either scrapped or dismantled as part of post-war disarmament agreements. Some found their way into civilian hands, particularly in the emerging civil aviation sector.

    The Albatros C.III is a representation of the biplane reconnaissance aircraft used during World War I, an era when aerial reconnaissance played a crucial role in the outcome of battles and campaigns. It was an essential asset for military forces seeking an aerial advantage during the conflict.

     ~ Dimensions ~

    The model has a length of 11.5 cm (4.5 inches) and a wingspan of 19 cm (7.5  inches).

    ~ Condition ~

    The model is in very good condition commensurate with age.
