The Fokker Triplane will always be remembered by the general public and noted German pilot aces, as the favorite warbird of World War I. This airplane was designed for dogfighting, so it was engineered for quick climbing and for tight turning. Manfred von Richthofen, Rittmeister 1892-1918, known as the "Red Baron ", this pilot was the greatest of the German Aces, and the highest scoring fighter pilot of WWI on any side, with a total of 80 victories, he received almost every decoration that could be awarded - far too many to be listed here. The most notable of these awards was the Iron Cross.
Please note: An optional display stand is available separately if you wish to display this model "in-flight".
Designed in response to the highly maneuverable Sopwith Triplane, the Fokker Dr.I was first flown in 1917 and was one of the most successful and recognizable combat aircraft of WWI, attributing much of its fame to the German WWI ace Manfred von Richthofen - the iconic "Red Baron". Light weight, small size and three wings made the aircraft highly maneuverable and deadly in the hands of an expert pilot but very unforgiving of less experienced pilots. Common for airplanes of that era, a fixed crankshaft configuration allowed the entire engine to spin with the propeller, creating strong gyroscopic forces that adversely affected the airplane's handling under power. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
