Historical background

The Fokker Dr.I Triplane was one of the most recognizable fighters of World War I. Designed by Reinhold Platz, it entered service in 1917 and became famous for its remarkable maneuverability and great performance in close-range dogfights. The most notable squadron flying this model was Jasta 11. Although its production was limited—around 320 units were built—the aircraft went down in history thanks to its legendary pilots, such as Richthofen and Werner Voss. The Dr.I was used until the end of the war, in 1918.
