Another strange German machine…
.
… definitely was the Siemens-Schuckert DDr.I of late 1917. Maybe this rather unusual design was the first fighter with a combined tractor and pusher engine configuration. Seen from an aerodynamic point of view, the machine was a mess, but the engineers seem to have expected that the combined power of the two rotary engine would eliminate this disadvantage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siemens-Schuckert_DDr.I (no French text existing) (no German text existing) http://www.airwar.ru/image/idop/fww1...1/sswdr1-1.jpg http://www.airwar.ru/image/idop/fww1...1/sswdr1-1.gif  .
