D.K.I was a two-seat reconnaissance aircraft designed by Permier Lieutenant Ussing and built by the Army Flying School. It was designed based on “guess-timates”. No real drawings or calculations were made. Test-flights started on the 8th of June 1918, but the aircraft suffered from poor design, and crashed 3 months later.
