A crash on the factory airfield in December 1917.
153.113 was attached to Flik 68 and after repaired in June 1918, was fitted out as photo reconnaissance for Flik 40.
Starting with airframe 153.112, the Albatros D.III (Oeff) series 153 was delivered with a rounded nose, adding some 9 km/h to the airspeed.
