Dietrich DP.II

The Dietrich DP.II Bussard was a 1920s German two-seat training biplane designed by Richard Dietrich and built by the Dietrich-Gobiet Flugzeugwerke as Kassel.

Development

The DP.II was a development of the earlier DP.I with the change to be a cantilever unequal-span biplane. The DP.II was built with wooden wings and a steel-frame fabric covered fuselage and tailplane. The aircraft had a fixed Conventional [landing gear|tailskid landing gear] and was powered by a Siemens-Halske radial engine. Following the single Siemens-Halske [Sh 4] powered prototype was a production run of 58 improved DP.IIa variants powered by Siemens-Halske Sh 5 radial engines.
