The Fokker E.III was a German fighter plane, a monoplane of a mixed structure, where the fuselage was made of a welded tubular truss, covered with canvas. The plane was produced in the years 1915-1916. The drive was provided by one 100HP Oberursel UI engine. The Fokker E.III, in contrast to the EI and E.II versions, was produced in larger quantities. A total of 249 copies were produced. It was one of the first German aircraft to which a machine gun synchroniser was serially mounted. This allowed the spinning propeller to shoot. However, when the Nieuport 11 and Airco DH.2 Fokker E.III aircraft appeared on the Western Front, it became obsolete, mainly due to its moderate maneuverability. Technical data: Maximum speed: 140 km / h, speed of climb: 3.3 m / s, maximum ceiling 3600 m, armament: fixed - 1 machine gun LMG08 / 15 caliber 7.92 mm.
