	Fokker Dr.I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Fokker Dr.I Dreidecker (triplane) was a World War I fighter aircraft built by the company of Anthony Fokker, and designed by Reinhold Platz.
		As the Fokker D.VII entered widespread service, surviving triplanes were withdrawn from frontline use and distributed to training and home defense units.
		Fokker responded with the V.3, a small rotary-powered triplane with a tubular steel frame fuselage and thick cantilever wings.

	Fokker Dr 1 Information
		He was killed in his Fokker Dr 1 whilst chasing a novice pilot fairly low to the ground by a single shot in the heart by either a Canadian Pilot, Australian machine gunners or by ground troops.
		The Fokker Dr 1 was a successful plane because it was small and had 3 wings and a supplementary airfoil on the undercarriage.
		However, the Fokker Dr 1 was not without problems, some reasons why it did not succeed was because of the poor wing design which led to the temporary withdrawal from service by the end of October 1917.

	The Fokker DR-1
		Fokker DR-1 (number 425/17) was the airplane that Richthofen was killed in on April 21, 1918. He also flew several other DR-1’s, 114/17, 127/17, 141/17, 152/17, 477/17, and 425/17.
		The Fokker DR-1 was the original design of Reinhold Platz. It was a cantilever triplane with balanced ailerons and elevators.
		The wings were of great strength, with hollow box-spars, which were considerably light in weight. The wing spars were joined together to form a solid full-span spar. Initially there were no inter wing struts, but, in flight testing, a wing vibration developed so struts were added in the production version.

		Fokker built 320 Dr. Is; for a brief period production was suspended while the wings were redesigned to prevent in-flight failures.
		By May 1918 the Dr I was being replaced by the newer and faster Fokker D VII.
		The Fokker Dr. I was ordered into production on July 14, 1917, in response to the success earlier in that year of the British Sopwith Triplane.

		C. Fokker had already been working on a series of experimental aircraft with wooden cantilever wings, now seen as one of the most important inventions in aeronautical science during the war.
		Fokker built the first fighter airplane to have a machine gun synchronized to fire through the propeller.
		From the factory the Fokkers arrived pale blue underneath and with streaks of olive green on upper surfaces and sides.

		However, repairs to the faulty wing workmanship were quickly effected, and the Dr I remained in service on the Western Front until replaced by the superior Fokker D VII in May 1918.
		In response, the Fokker Flugzeugwerke devised the Dreidecker (hence Dr), which completed its first flight in June 1917 and entered service two months later.
		Undoubtedly the fighter type to see most service on either side during World War 1, the Fokker Dr I was inspired by Sopwiths Triplane of 1916-17.

	Great Planes Fokker Dr-1 60 ARF Product Review
		The war's leading ace excelled in each of the aircraft he used, the last of which (before being shot down himself) was the Fokker Dr.I. Richtofen regularly flew at least four different triplanes and while all of them had a dark red base color, they each had slightly different trim schemes.
		Dr.Is generally fly well once they're airborne but are difficult during take-off and landing because its stubby and tall shape results in an abnormally high Center of Gravity.
		The Dr.I earned many "oohs" and "ahs" when I brought it to my club meeting for "show and tell," but even more vocal enthusiasm by the people who've seen it fly.

		By 1918 the Dr.I was being replaced by the superior D.VII biplane, however by then the war was all but over.
		The Dr.I, immortalized by Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron, was inspired by the success of the British Sopwith triplane (essentially a Pup with a third wing surface added).
		German aces who flew the Dr.I were the Red Baron& brother Lothar, Werner Voss, Ernst Udet, and Hermann Goering.

		When dry, these were taped with Tamiya masking tape so fuselage and upper sides of the lower and middle wing could be sprayed green Humbrol 30.
		Care was taken so that the paint was not too dry and that the striping was applied in a sort of regular pattern.
		The green striping on body and wings were applied by adding white to the green and brushing them on in the principle of dry-brushing, using a flat brush.

		The Fokker Dr-1 Triplane was built as a response to the British Sopwith Triplane, but contrary to popular belief, Fokker's chief designer Reinhold Platz did not use the Triplane as a model.
		The Fokker Dr-1 Triplane will always maintain its legendary aura, and is usually the symbol of German airpower in WW One.
		Designed as a response to the Sopwith Triplane, the Fokker DR-1 was already obsolete when it began to reach squadrons in late 1917.

	Fokker Dr.I - WWI German Fighter (1917)
		Historical Notes: The Fokker Dr.I is one of the most famous fighters as well as the Sopwith Camel or the S.E.5a in the First World War.
		The Dr.I is expecially famous as the aircraft flown by Manfred von Richthofen nicknamed "Red Baron", who was killed after he recorded 80 kills which was the top record in the War.
		The commander himself used to fight on Albatros or Pfalz biplanes, but since the Dr.I was delivered, he succeeded to establish many war results with his newly developed group combat tactics where the excellent turning capability of the Dr.I was fully utilized.

	Dragon 1/48 Fokker Dr.I - Werner Voss
		The Fokker F.1s differed from the Dr.I in that the entire airframe was painted the "turquoise blue" that was painted only on the lower surfaces of the production Dr.Is, which were left in clear-doped linen on their upper surfaces.
		DML/Dragon's Fokker Dr.I has been considered one of the best First World War models since its release nearly 10 years ago.
		This controversy is also stoked by a now-nonexistant Fokker triplane cowl that used to be at the Imperial War Museum, that was overpainted yellow, and was claimed to be from Voss' airplane.

		The modern view seems to be that, whatever the almost legendary exploits of von Richtofen and his Flying Circus might indicate, the Fokker Dr.I simply wasn’t a very good warplane.
		Be that as it may, the sheer oddity of three wings over two and the Flying Circus connection will ensure that the Fokker Dr.I remains one of the best known World War I aircraft.
		The Dr.I was designed in 1916 to emulate the Sopwith Triplane, an aircraft which had achieved some success and seemed to bear out the prevailing theory of the time that an aircraft with three wings would be more agile than a biplane.

		The Fokker Dr.I's compound structure consisted of a cable-braced steel tube fuselage, and cantilever wings with wooden ribs and single main box spar, all covered by fabric and plywood panels.
		The Fokker Dr.I was not especially fast, but its maneuverability, due to its small dimensions, was considered unequaled at that time.
		320 Fokker Dr.I were produced, and of course it was a small number to put up against the Allied Air Armada.

		The prototype of the Fokker Dr.I was equipped with an Oberursel UR.III engine (145 PS), whereas the standard models used the weaker UR.II or a Le Rhône 9J engine (both 110 PS).
		Just like expected before, the Fokker Dr.I had excellent climbing and descent rates and was as maneuverable as all enemy fighters, even as the Sopwith Camel.
		The most promisingly drafts were the planes from Siemens-Schuckert, Pfalz, LFG Roland and Fokker, which were given to well selected pilot aces to judge about them in June 1917.

		According to usual Fokker practice it is hexagonal in form, but ends up with a vertical stern-post, countrary to the usual Fokker practice in which the fuselage terminates with horizontal bar similar to the Morane.
		The rudder is balanced, and is of the familiar Fokker type without a fixed fin.
		The elevator is, however, quite different from the ordinary Fokker practice.
