Deperdussin type D
Two-seat monoplane, with distinctive rounded upper fuselage. In some aircraft fuselage bracing wires were replaced by thin plywood skin. For military use light 'belly' armoring was suggested, but not installed. For 1913-1914 this plane was a pretty good performer. On military airplane contest (1913) it won the third price, and was accepted by military department against domestic S-11.
Sixty three were built at Lebedev Factory. Two were installed on floats in 1915. Deperdussin 'type D' served in Russian Imperial Airforce until 1917.
