The LFG Roland D.I was a fighter aircraft produced in Germany during World War I. It was a single-seat aircraft based originally on the Roland C.II two-seat reconnaissance type. It shared its predecessor’s unusual design feature of having a deep fuselage that completely filled the interplane gap but in comparison the fuselage was much sleeker. While the C.II’s appearance had earned the Walfisch (Whale) the D.I became known as the Haifisch (Shark).
