You need to set orthogonal contrasts.
(I'm a little confused here: There is code inside aov() which looks

Call:
aov(formula = y ~ A * B * C, data = D)
Terms:
A B C A:B A:C B:C
A:B:C
Sum of Squares 1.865413 1.274867 0.649255 3.509371 0.679776 0.145896
4.278649
Deg. of Freedom 3 1 1 3 3
1 3
Estimated effects are balanced
