Fokker Dr.I

The one WWI plane everyone knows is the Fokker Dr.I, though it was built in limited numbers and had a short career. The Triplane's fame was boosted by its famous pilots, most from Richtofen Geschwader, such as Manfred and Lothar von Richtofen and Werner Voss. After their introduction in August 1917, several triplanes were found to have broken up in mid-air and the type was grounded near the end of October. Corrections were made and the type resumed flights on November 10.

The triplane was quite maneuverable, but it was also slow and lacked performance at altitude, so Idflieg limited production to only 320 machines and they hit their peak in April 1918 with 171 Triplanes at the front. Due to von Richtofen's legend, the Dr.I will always remain iconic.
