The Albatros D.V was a fighter aircraft used by the Luftstreitkräfte (Imperial German Army Air Service) during World War I. It was the final development of the Albatros D.I family and the last to see operational service. Despite its shortcomings and general obsolescence, approximately 900 Albatros D.V and 1,612 D.Va aircraft were built before production was halted in early 1918. The D.Va continued in operational service until the end of the war.
