BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FOKKER DR.1

The Fokker Dr.1, Tri-Plane was the favorite aircraft of Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron, who is credited with 80 victories before he was shot down and killed. He flew from September 1917 until his death in April 1918.

Built by Dutch aircraft designer Anthony Fokker, the Dr.1 was powered by the Oberursel UR II 9-cylinder rotary engine. It could climb to 3000 feet in less than 3 minutes. It had a high roll rate and was difficult to fly. Only the best pilots could master it, thus becoming  deadly in the hands of those who had succeeded.
