	Fokker D.VII - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fokker rarely used plans for their designs, preferring to tinker until it worked, and so they simply sent a completed D.VII to Albatros to copy.
		Fokker's chief designer Reinhold Platz had been working on a series of experimental planes, the V-series, since 1916.
		Fokker sent in the V.11 and both the V.13's, as well as two monoplane designs, the V.17 and V.18.

		The Fokker D.VII on display is a full scale flying replica built by James Osborne from original specifications and fitted with an original Hall Scott engine and instruments.

	Fokker D.VII - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fokker's factory was not up to the task of supplying the entire air force, so their rivals at Albatros and AEG were directed to build the D.VII under license, though AEG did not ultimately produce any aircraft.
		In mid-series, the D.VII was further improved by mounting the new overcompressed 185 hp BMW IIIa, a development of the old Mercedes engine that combined increased displacement, higher compression, and an alititude-adjusting carburetor to provide a considerable increase in speed and climb at high altitude.
		The D.VII was also noted for its ability to climb at high angles of attack, its remarkably docile stalling behavior, and its reluctance to spin.
