The Albatros L 76 Aeolus was a German military reconnaissance aircraft built by Albatros Flugzeugwerke in 1927. It had wooden dual-spar wings with plywood skins supported by N-type struts and a fabric-covered fuselage made of welded steel tubing. The aircraft was used for testing and for the training of the Soviet Air Force, which operated two for tests and trials. It was difficult to fly and killed several people, among them Emil Thuy, who crashed near Smolensk on 11 June 1930, and Paul Jeschonnek, who crashed near Berlin on 13 June 1929. As a result it had to be improved, which led to the Albatros L 77v. A 450 kilowatt BMW VI inline engine gave it a maximum speed of 235 kilometres per hour.
