Description: | Fokker E.I (Eindekker) Scout Single seat monoplane scout with Oberursal engine. The Fokker interrupter gear (enabling a machine gun to be fired forwards through the propeller) gave the Fokker absolute air superiority over the Western Front during 1915, causing Allied pilots to refer to themselves as "Fokker Fodder". It was outclassed by the Allied "pusher" aircraft in early 1916. | 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 |
