Painter`s description
 Pfalz D.IIIa. Jasta 40s. The pilot is Lieutenant Carl Degeloff (unit commander). Awarded the Pour de Merite order, 30 victories. Western front, summer of 1918.
The picture shows the episode of an air fight when German fighters from a Saxon unit is attacking British De Havilland DH.4 front bombers. There is Degeloff's aircraft in the foreground. There is a picture of a jumping deer on the sides of this machine. Undergoing treatment at the White Deer health center near Dresden because of an injury, the pilot took the picture of this deer, the symbol of the center, as his own symbol and mascot. The German pilot won on this plane at least one victory.

In the early part of 1917, Pfalz Flugzeugwerke - GmbH - Speyer am Rhein company developed its first company designed plane, which received the designation Pfalz D.III. The new plane soon received good performance reports from the pilots (especially for its maneuverability and pilot visibility).
But installation of its machine gun within the fuselage was more than a failure; the best solution would be placement of the weapon at eye level.
In the autumn of 1917 the first modified aircraft, the Pfalz D.IIIa arrived at the Front. Apart from the weapon installation, the new plane had a square tailplane with increased area. At the end of April 1918, 433 Pfalz D.IIIa's were at the Front, together with the D.III they accounted for about 25 percent of the total for all fighter types.
750 Pfalz D.IIIa's were built in total, more than fifteen Jasta's operated this type. Some aircraft of the last production batch built were delivered to Turkey.
The Pfalz D.IIIa served until the end of war, at times they remained a first line fighter, but in early 1918 (after the Fokker D.VII began to appear), the D.IIIa began to be deleted from its first line position.
