The Siemens-Schuckert D-series fighters evolved from captured French Nieuport 11 aircraft. The D.III appeared as an improved D.I - a design that came too late to be of much use, and was therefore classified as a trainer. The D.III was developed from the longer-span D.IIc prototype, with smaller propellers and shorter landing gear.
