Albatros D-series lower wing dihedral?

Hi Folks,

I'm hoping someone can definitively specify what the lower wing dihedral angle was for the Albatros D.III, D.V, and D.Va (German source documents preferred).

I have seen 1, 1 1/2, and 2 degrees quoted in written sources for the V-Strutters, and hope someone can clear up this issue for me?

Thanks!

Alb. D.V and D.Va dihedral.

FlyXwire:
The dihedral of the Alb.D.V lower wing is 1 degree. It is the same o9n the Alb.D.Va. This information came from Idflieg Baubeschreibung fur Albatros D.V and D.Va Flugzeug. ( Construction information for the Albatros D.V and D.Va) There are two sets, one for each aircraft.
Blue skies,
Dan-San
