Talk:Pfalz D.III

About the rudder.
Well maybe it is an insignificant point, but I do think the rudder profile is fairly notable. The key features I see are that the rudder is entirely above the plane of the elevator. This is not the case for the Pfalz D.XII which may be contrary to expectations, but it is also true for the LVG C.II (and related), the Roland D.XV or the Gotha G.I. That said, the Halberstadt C.V does seem to be very similar. Now whether or not it deserves mention at all, I don't know... Maury 22:05, 20 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I didn't cite the Pfalz D.XII or the LVG C.II as examples of aircraft having this type of rudder. I cited the Pfalz D.XV and the LVG C.IV through C.VI. As for the Gotha G.I, please note that that is a totally different design from the succeeding Gotha G.II through G.V. The following links are illustrative
