Tjek vores konkurrenters priser
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.

Author Mark Wilkins is a historian and lecturer specializing in aviation and maritime history and is a contributor to Aviation History and Air & Space magazines and is the historical consultant for a documentary on WWI aviation.
