The Fokker Dr.1 is one of the most famous and recognizable fighter planes of World War One.  The Fokker Dr.1 (Dr standing for Dreidecker or 3 

wings) was designed by Reinhold Platz and was ordered into production on July 14, 1917, in response to the success of the British Sopwith Triplane 

earlier in the year.  The first production model of the Fokker Dr.1 was delivered personally by Tony Fokker to the Red Baron, Rittmeister Manfred 

von Richthofen, and shortly after that in August of 1917 it made its first appearance in combat. 

Pilots were impressed with its maneuverability and soon scored victories with the nimble triplane.  In the hands of an experienced pilot, the Fokker 

Dr.1 was a formidable dogfighter.  The three wings produce tremendous lift which, combined with its small size and weight, meant it could out climb 

and out-turn almost any opponent.
