The Benz Bz.III was a six-cylinder, water-cooled, inline engine developed in Germany for use in aircraft in 1914. Developing 112 kW (150 hp) at 1,400 rpm from 875 cuin (14.3 L)[1], it powered many German military aircraft during World War I. It was replaced in production by the unrelated Benz Bz.IIIa (140x190x6=17.55 L (1070.9cuin))[1] and eventually the Benz Bz.IIIb (this latter engine a V-8).
