[WWI] Looking for information on engines Daimler-Benz DII and Argus AS 3

[Knut Erik Hagen]

Hei,

I have photographed a number of German engines, but I do not remember
seeing some with thosee designations.

Do you know which aircraft they were used in and how many hp they developed
as it would make it easier for me to search my photo collection?
