The Mercedes D.III, or F1466 as it was known internally, was a six-cylinder SOHC valvetrain liquid-cooled inline aircraft engine built by Daimler and used on a wide variety of German aircraft during World War I. The initial versions were introduced in 1914 at 160 PS (118 kW), but a series of changes improved this to 170 PS (125 kW) in 1917, and 180 PS (132 kW) by mid-1918. These later models were used on almost all late-war German fighters, and its only real competition, the BMW III, was available only in very limited numbers. Compared to the Allied engines it faced, the D.III was generally outdated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is heavy wear across the data plate with a small strip of the metal broken off at the bottom, but all four screw holes are still intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA very rare piece from a genuine Mercedes First World War German aircraft engine, ready for display!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45678534885445,"sku":"ONJR26AURA73","price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/8E2D28A1-03A5-47D5-BB88-EFEC7E4A9A1D.jpg?v=1788376581","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-german-wwi-mercedes-d-iii-daimler-motoren-gesellschaft-aircraft-6-zylinder-engine-data-plate","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
