German three-lobed Fokker Dr. I fighter aircraft of the First World War. The work of Anthony Fokker and Reinhold Plat. The plane was a German response to the appearance of the British Sopwith Triplane fighter. The Fokker Dr.I was characterized by fantastic maneuverability, a very high rate of climb and achieved a decisive advantage in wheeled combat with twin-engine aircraft. However, it had a low top speed (165 km/h), which was also partly due to the use of a weak 110 HP engine. The first pre-production vehicles (with the symbol V.5) were tested by prominent German pilots: Werner Voss and Manfred von Richthofen, nicknamed the “Red Baron”. It was the latter who made this aircraft model famous, winning many victories on it. Serial Fokker Dr. I served at the front from October 1917. until the end of the war.
