Fokker D VII Aces of World War 1, Part 1 (Osprey Aircraft of the Ace, 53)

Designed in a great rush at the end of 1917 just in time to take part in the German standard fighter competition held in January/February 1918, the D VII easily walked away with first prize. As Germanys premier fighter unit, von Richthofens JG I (led by Hermann Göring in the wake of the 'Red Baron's' recent death) received the first examples of the D VII to reach the frontline in late April. Built to oppose the new generation of French SPAD XIIIs and British SE 5as and Camel fighters, the D VII was arguably the best all-round fighting scout of the Great War. scan0001.jpg......Page 1 scan0002.jpg......Page 2 scan0003.jpg......Page 3 scan0004.jpg......Page 4 scan0005.jpg......Page 5 scan0006.jpg......Page 6 scan0007.jpg......Page 7 scan0008.jpg......Page 8 scan0009.jpg......Page 9 scan0010.jpg......Page 10 scan0011.jpg......Page 11 scan0012.jpg......Page 12 scan0013.jpg......Page 13 scan0014.jpg......Page 14 scan0015.jpg......Page 15 scan0016.jpg......Page 16 scan0017.jpg......Page 17 scan0018.jpg......Page 18 scan0019.jpg......Page 19 scan0020.jpg......Page 20 scan0021.jpg......Page 21 scan0022.jpg......Page 22 scan0023.jpg......Page 23 scan0024.jpg......Page 24 scan0025.jpg......Page 25 scan0026.jpg......Page 26 scan0027.jpg......Page 27 scan0028.jpg......Page 28 scan0029.jpg......Page 29 scan0030.jpg......Page 30 scan0031.jpg......Page 31 scan0032.jpg......Page 32 scan0033.jpg......Page 33 scan0034.jpg......Page 34 scan0035.jpg......Page 35 scan0036.jpg......Page 36 scan0037.jpg......Page 37 scan0038.jpg......Page 38 scan0039.jpg......Page 39 scan0040.jpg......Page 40 scan0041.jpg......Page 41 scan0042.jpg......Page 42 scan0043.jpg......Page 43 scan0044.jpg......Page 44 scan0045.jpg......Page 45 scan0046.jpg......Page 46 scan0047.jpg......Page 47 scan0048.jpg......Page 48 scan0049.jpg......Page 49 scan0050.jpg......Page 50 scan0051.jpg......Page 51 scan0052.jpg......Page 52 scan0053.jpg......Page 53 scan0054.jpg......Page 54 scan0055.jpg......Page 55 scan0056.jpg......Page 56 scan0057.jpg......Page 57 scan0058.jpg......Page 58 scan0059.jpg......Page 59 scan0060.jpg......Page 60 scan0061.jpg......Page 61 scan0062.jpg......Page 62 scan0063.jpg......Page 63 scan0064.jpg......Page 64 scan0065.jpg......Page 65 scan0066.jpg......Page 66 scan0067.jpg......Page 67 scan0068.jpg......Page 68 scan0069.jpg......Page 69 scan0070.jpg......Page 70 scan0071.jpg......Page 71 scan0072.jpg......Page 72 scan0073.jpg......Page 73 scan0074.jpg......Page 74 scan0075.jpg......Page 75 scan0076.jpg......Page 76 scan0077.jpg......Page 77 scan0078.jpg......Page 78 scan0079.jpg......Page 79 scan0080.jpg......Page 80 scan0081.jpg......Page 81 scan0082.jpg......Page 82 scan0083.jpg......Page 83 scan0084.jpg......Page 84 scan0085.jpg......Page 85 scan0086.jpg......Page 86 scan0087.jpg......Page 87 scan0088.jpg......Page 88 scan0089.jpg......Page 89 scan0090.jpg......Page 90 scan0091.jpg......Page 91 scan0092.jpg......Page 92 scan0093.jpg......Page 93 scan0094.jpg......Page 94 scan0095.jpg......Page 95 scan0096.jpg......Page 96 scan0097.jpg......Page 97 scan0098.jpg......Page 98 scan0099.jpg......Page 99 scan0100.jpg......Page 100 "Throughout 1917 and into the spring of 1918, the German Jagdstaffel pilots had fought a valiant air campaign against the British and French air arms on the Western Front."
