The Fokker Dr.1 (Dr standing
for Dreidecker or 3 wings) built by the company
of Anthony Fokker was one of the most
famous planes of World War One. This is probably
because it was associated with the Red Baron.
The Fokker Dr 1's airframe was made out of steel
tubing that was covered in aircraft doped
canvas. The Fokker Dr 1 had two machine guns
with an intercepting gear that was designed to
fire bullets through the propeller arc without
hitting the blades. |
