Fokker Dr.I
SPECIFICATIONS: Country of Manufacture: Germany
This Fokker Triplane is likely the most famous fighter of The Great War (1914 – 1918) despite the fact that only 320 were built. As a German improvement on the British Sopwith Triplane, the Dr.I was smaller and more maneuverable than most planes of the period. The brown and yellow Fokker with the anchor insignia is painted to represent Leutnant Klimke of Jasta 27, whose mother insisted that he have anchors on the plane for luck. He survived the war with 17 victories, so it must have worked.
