The increasing strength of the Italian Air Force made it urgent to replace the obsolete Hansa D.I. The Albatros D.II improved upon the German development. In total, 16 aircraft of the D.II (Oeffag) type were built, with the serial numbers 53.01-53.16. Together with the more modern D.III (Oeffag), these planes were intensively used until the last days of World War One. At least two Oeffag D.IIs survived the war and served in post-war Czechoslovakia and Hungary.
