1/3 Scale Fokker DR-1 Triplane

The most recognized aircraft of the First World War. From late 1917 until June of 1918, the Fokker Triplane blazed its way across history and into the popular culture of today. In the hands of men like Baron Manfred von Richthofen "The Red Baron" and his brother Lothar von Richthofen, Werner Voss and Ernest Udet, the Triplane became well known as the ultimate "Dog Fight" airplane of the war. In its design, Anthony Fokker and Reinhold Platz sacrificed speed for rate of climb and maneuverability - they were successful! "They climb like monkeys and maneuver like devils." (von Richthofen)
