The AEG B.III was a German two-seat biplane reconnaissance aircraft produced in very small numbers from 1915 as a further refinement of the B.I and B.II. Its main change was a fresh tailplane assembly, and it used a Mercedes D.II six-cylinder water-cooled inline piston engine of 88 kilowatts to reach about 110 kilometres per hour, with a wingspan of 13.1 metres. Performance was only just adequate and the type attracted little interest. It served in reconnaissance and training roles in 1915 before armed aircraft replaced it in the German military.
