Product Description
Review
"When you pick up a book that has the names "Franks" and "VanWyngarden" on it, how can you go wrong? This...has all the earmarks of a book that you'll want to read...its written by two of the most truly outstanding WWI aviation authors of our time, it discusses perhaps the most famous airplane of the entire way, and its fun!... Fokker Dr1 Aces of WWI never forgets to entertain. It includes riveting dogfight accounts, lengthy diary and letter excerpts from pilots, and all the things that we always wanted to read about in an aviation book... Buy this book. It is way cool." -Indy Squadron Dispatch
Product Description
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.
