HISTORY OF FOKKER DR. I TRIPLANE: THE RED BARON

The Fokker Dr. I is an airplane that conquered numerous victories for the German side. In the same year, most of the major aviation factories attempted to create their own triple-deck fighters. It was a Dutchman, Anthony Fokker, who finally created the triplane that would become the nightmare of the Allies.
Its highest rival in the sky was the British biplane fighter called Sopwith Camel (20351), a war machine of the Allies that allowed to face the great effectiveness and precision of the Fokker Dr. I.
