The Halberstadt D.II was a biplane fighter aircraft of the Luftstreitkräfte (Imperial German Army Air Service) that served through the period of Allied air superiority in early 1916. As the first-ever biplane configuration fighter aircraft to serve in combat for the German Empire it had begun to be superseded in the then-forming Jagdstaffeln by the superior Albatros fighters by the autumn of that year although small numbers of Halberstadts continued in use well into 1917.
