Description: | Fokker Dr1 Triplane Scout Single seat triplane scout with Oberursal engine. The triplane was manoeuvrable and had a high rate of climb which compensated for its slow speed in combat. Flown with great success by aces such as Werner Voss and Manfred von Richthofen during 1917, it was quickly withdrawn from general service due to fundamental structural weakness which caused the aircraft to break up in a dive. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | Aerial Warfare German Air Force German Air Force 1914-1918 Military Aviation | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
