| | 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. |
