"Fokker Dr. I"

Description

The Fokker Dr. I combined excellent maneuverability with a high rate of climb. The type was favored by Manfred von Richthofen and Werner Voss, two of Germany's legendary fighter pilots. Both of these men lost their lives in this type of aircraft in two of the most talked about air battles of the war.

There are no known original Fokker triplanes in existence. In 1967, Cole Palen constructed this reproduction, complete with a 110 hp LeRhone rotary engine, using drawings from several sources including drawings made by the British in 1918 from a captured aircraft.
