03/19/2005. Remarks by Tracy Hancock: "D-228 was built in 1925, then converted to Merkur standard in 1927. Written off in 1930. Changes to the airframe include (but are not limited to): enlarged vertical tail, unbraced tailplane, cut out in the wing center section trailing edge, slightly increased wingspan and either a BWM VI or BMW VIu engine (Merkur II)." |
