Historical Overview of the Pfalz D. XII

The Pfalz D. XII was one of the last German fighters used during the final period of World War I. Introduced into service in 1918, it served in the German air force between 1918 and 1919. Although it was less popular than the Fokker D.VII, it was characterized by a solid construction and good diving speed. It was primarily found in front-line service during the last months of the war. After the armistice, some of these aircraft became war trophies taken by the Entente countries.
