Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Undoubtedly the most famous Dr.1 pilot was Baron Manfred von Richtofen. Widely known as the “Red Baron”, von Richtofen was officially credited with 80 kills, 19 of them while flying a Dr.1. Richtofen became commander of the fighter squadron Jasta 11 in January 1917, where he flew the Albatross D.II and D.III. When he became a squadron commander, Richthofen took the flamboyant step of having his Albatros painted red. That would go on to be his iconic, red-painted aircraft, although not all of them were entirely red, nor was the “red” necessarily the brilliant scarlet that legend would suggest. Other pilots in Jasta 11 soon took to painting parts of their aircraft red, and their “official” was to make their leader less conspicuous, and to avoid him being singled out in a fight. In practice, red coloration became a unit identification. Richtofen continued to use red aircraft when he began to fly the Dr.1, hence the iconic “Red Baron” Fokker Triplane.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the evolution and development of perhaps the most iconic German fighter of WWI--the Fokker Dr. 1 triplane or "Dreidecker." The Dr. 1 was born from experiments in cantilever monoplanes and the excellent combat record of the Sopwith triplane, which appeared at the western front at the end of 1916. Only 320 Fokker Dr.1s were built, yet their imprint on aviation history was and is far reaching and enduring--perhaps due to those who flew them. Baron Manfred von Richthofen and his brother Lothar, as well as Werner Voss, Ernst Udet, and many others, all flew the triplane, helping burnish their image in collective memory. This book highlights the design and construction of the legendary Dr. 1, as well as showcasing many flying replicas and where they can be found. Also included are selected museums from around the world where Dr. 1s can currently be seen.

Book excerpt: Undoubtedly the most famous fighter type to see service on either side during World War 1, the Fokker Dr I was a revelation when it entered service on the western front in 1917. Manfred von Richthofen's JG 1 'circus' was the first Jasta to completely re-equip with the new fighter, and in the skilled hands of its numerous aces the Dr I proved a formidable opponent. The Dr I remained in service on the Western Front until replaced by the superior Fokker D VII in May 1918. Just weeks prior to that, however, Germany's leading ace, the great 'Red Baron', had been killed at the controls of a Dr I.
