The Fokker D.III (company M.19) was a German biplane fighter of World War I, an improved version of the D.II. The primary improvements were a larger U.III twin row rotary engine and a stronger fuselage. Total production of D.2 and D.3 fighters was almost 300 aircraft. Though the Fokker D.II and D.III fighters are not well known today, some famous aces, including Oswald Boelcke, Manfred, Baron von Richtofen, and Ernst Udet flew the aircraft in combat.
