FOKKER DR1 JASTA 4 ERNST UDET FOR FE2


Fokker Dr.1 Jasta 4 (Ernst Udet) 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 used by the Prussian Jasta 4.

This package in question shows some of the known triplanes flown by Leutnant Ernst Udet in this squadron. 

Ernst Udet was born on 26 April 1896 at Frankfurt am Main, Germany. He learned to fly by taking private lessons and entered the German Air Force in September 1915. Flying a Fokker D.III, he scored his first victory on 18 March 1916. He scored five more victories with Jasta 15 and reportedly dueled with Georges Guynemer in June 1917. Udet would later write that during the dogfight, his guns jammed and the French ace broke off his attack when he saw Udet pounding on the breech of his machine gun. On 26 July 1917, he transferred to Jasta 37 where he scored fifteen victories. From there he transferred to Jasta 11 in March 1918 and Jasta 4 in May 1918. On 26 September 1918 he was wounded in the thigh. All of the aircraft he flew in combat were marked with "LO!" on the fuselage in honor of his fiancée, Eleonore Zink. Udet was the highest scoring German ace to survive World War I. Post war he traveled the world performing in airshows for the public. (Source The Aerodrome).

- Leutnant Ernst Udet (60 victories)

- Fokker Dr.1 586/17 (Black & White stripes)
- Fokker Dr.1 586/17 (Red & blue stripes) 
- Fokker Dr.1 586/17 (Late markings with the tail & cowling in     light blue) 
- Fokker Dr.1 593/17 (white chevron on tail and a sketch for the   "LO!" markup)

Note that these colors are merely speculative. To paint the red & blue triplane version, I used the description of the late aviation author and researcher Dan-San Abbott as a basis for my skin.
________________________________________________________________

- 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.
