WOFF Screenshot of the Month, July - 'Meet the Fokkers!'

[JimAttrill]

And it was uncomfortable in bed with all those medals

[+Olham]

Mmuahahahahaaa!!!

Meanwhile, back at the Fokkers...

 

Karjus, Jasta 75...

 

 

 

...and Stark, Jasta 34b (author of 'Wings of War'):

 

 

Note the Albatros company logo on the rudders of both - not a mistake, but signifying that these machines were made by the Ostdeutsche Albatros Werke.

 

Enough to get Olham flying one of these birds, maybe? :)

Never gonna' happen!

Never gonna' happen!

 

Except for the nose maybe, the craft looks to me like a soapbox-derby car.

If I had to survive the real WW1 air war, I would surely LOVE to receive one.

But flying a sim is for having fun, for play-time - and here I prefer a beautiful or sexy aircraft.

 

The S.E.5a for example is a sexy fighter. Not a beauty, but somehow sexy.

So I prefer her over the Camel, which is neither a beauty nor sexy IMHO.

But what did the Romans already say about taste...?

Just right, Olham! After all, what have the Fokkers ever done for us, eh?

 

 

Apart from shoot down Camels. And SE5s. And Bristols...

[+Olham]

Indeed - all those victories achieved by ugly-looking aircraft...!

It's that man again, Udet - this time not in a 'soap box derby car', but in a 'flying venetian blind' as Jimmy McCudden once called it...

 

 

Just a couple of days of the month left, so if anyone else is flying WoFF's Fokkers, get posting!

After I replied to "A  Pretty Bit of Coding..." I realized that I had included the latest (and, mayhap, the last) Fokker picture in the wrong thread. So here it is:

Flying Venetian blind - Mmuahahahahaaa!!!

I call them "Flying BILLY rack" (Copyright: IKEA).

 

The skins of the Fokker D.VII look much improved by OvS, me thinks!

Next up, for August - V-strutters, so it's a soapbox racer and venetian blind-free zone (cue Olham).
