The Fokker Dr.1 Triplane
 
Designed by Reinhold Platz of the Fokker company,
the Dr.1 appeared over the Western Front in the autumn of 1917.
The design followed the successful lead over German fighters
given by the RNAS Sop- with Triplanes in the spring of that year.
Unlike the products of many of the German aircraft manufacturers
that rushed to design to the triplane specification,
the Fokker Dr.1 was an original conception
and not an adaptation of an existing type.
 
Although well known the Dr.1 appeared in relatively small numbers,
its manoeuvrability making it a favourite mount for Germany’s leading aces.
Manfred von Rihthofen (The Red Baron)
and the Fokker Triplane are of course synonymous,
and Werner Voss used it to boost his final tally to four-score aircraft.
 
However, following the death of Heinrich Guntermann, the balloon buster,
when his machine broke up in the air, and after similar failures,
the type was temporarily withdrawn from service.
The wing structure was strengthened and the Dr.1 went on to fight,
mainly with the Richthofen Geschwader, until the summer of 1918.
 
Powered by a Le Rhone or the 110 h.p. Oberursel UR11 engine,
the Fokker Triplane had a top speed of 103 m.p.h. at 13,000ft.
It was armed with two fixed synchronised Spandau guns
that could fire independently through the propeller.
The example illustrated here is a replica
fitted with an original engine and flying in the USA.
Photographed by James Gilbert,
this particular machine is well illustrated in his book “The Great Planes”.
 
Flight, London, SE1, 1971
