The D.IIIa had improvements such as a new wing, new tail and better located armament, the two LMG 08/15 machine guns being mounted on top in front of the cockpit. The D.IIIa also had a new 180 hp Mercedes D.IIIa engine. In all, 750 Pfalz D.IIIa's were produced. They were later replaced by the Fokker D.VII. After flying with Fl. Abt.

He did not achieve his first success until January 1918, when he despatched two French Paul Schmitt two-seaters. Muller would finish the war with Jasta 18, and 12 victories.
