J.I

The D.I and D.II were flown during First World War by the Austro-Hungarian Flying Service, a few being fitted with cameras for high-speed aerial photo-reconnaissance work. Seventeen of the final batch of 122 Phonix D.IIs were completed as improved variants and transferred to the Swedish Army Air Service after the war.

Sweden built 15 of the WW1 Phoenix D2 and designated the type J-1.
