I just received a copy of Jane' Fighting Aircraft of WWI. Got it off of the internet for $12.00 with S&H. Man it is huge and has tons of info on all of the MFR's and the A/C's. I would highly recommend this book to anyone on the list.
Of note it had the following to say about the Pfalz D.III: The machine is reported to be stable laterally and unstable directionally and longitudinally. It answers well to all controls much better than the Albatros D.5 but tends to turn to the left in flight. It is not tiring to fly, and is normally easy to land. Though the tail skid is of the non-steering type, no difficulty is found in directing the machine on the ground. I guess I need to get my cable fixed. Way too much Blue Max!
