Fokker Dr.1 Jasta 2 (Pilots) skin Pack for First Eagles 2
_________________________________________________________
What you will find in this Fokker Dr.1 skin Pack:
- A full set of skins to FokkerDr1 by Third Wire Productions used by the Prussian Jasta 2. 'Boelcke'
- All Fokkers use historical serial numbers and work numbers, although some do not belong to the designated aircraft. I opted for this, just to give more fidelity to each aircraft.
This package in question shows some of the known aces and pilots of this squadron.
7 triplanes used by Jasta 'Boelcke' from January 1918 to June/July 1918. Most of Dr.I, with 3 versions for German crosses. (early, late & later)
Jasta 'Boelcke' used the Fokker Dr.1 from January to June 1918, with some pilots, during that period, achieving victories with it.
The squadron, along with Jastas 26, 27, and 36, formed the "Jagdgeschwader III". Jasta 'Boelcke' became the second most successful german fighter unit; it ended the war with 23 aces and a total of 336 victories. Losing 31 pilots killed in action (KIA), 2 killed in Flying accident (KIFA), 9 wounded in Action (WIA) and 2 prisoners of War (POW)
At the beginning of June, the triplanes began to be replaced by the excellent Fokker DVII aircraft.

_________________________________________________________
- You will find also an optional Normal map (DR1_6_BUMP.bmp) figure which works best with the new Spandau machine gun I painted.
This is not mandatory. All Fokkers Dr.1 will work normally without this DR1_6_BUMP.bmp as well.
