A Brief History of the Fokker D.VII

The Fokker D.VII was a German single-seat fighter from World War I, introduced into service in 1918 and used by the Luftstreitkräfte – the Imperial German Air Service. Frontline reports clearly indicated that it was considered the most effective fighter of that era – not coincidentally, the Entente powers demanded its complete surrender after the war. The Fokker D.VII stood out for its excellent maneuverability, ease of handling, and a wide variety of combat unit paint schemes and markings.
