Skelettal framework of a Fokker Dr.1 "Dreidecker"

Recommended Posts

Here is a beautifully made video about the Fokker Dr.1 - yet without fabric!

You can see it's whole framework, and you may wonder, how they could have

dared to fly this into combat.

A beautiful piece of craftmanship.

 

Did you notice how close the pilot sits to the butt of the guns?

It looks like this is a 3/4 scale Dr.I which would crowd the cockpit.
