Information about the template:

Fokker DR1

Fokker Dr. It was the most legendary aircraft of the First World War, even though only around 300 were produced. The person who contributed most to the creation of his legend was cavalry captain Manfred Baron von Richthofen, who was the most successful fighter pilot of the First World War with eighty kills and whose planes were typically painted red. It was because of this distinctive livery that his English opponents called him the Red Baron. However, on April 21, 1918, von Richthofen lost his life when his plane was shot down by Australian machine gunners while flying low. Although the Fokker was undoubtedly influenced by the British Sopwith triplane, it was a completely unique concept. Dr. It was also incredibly easy to control and was flown by a number of experienced pilots.

Bristol F.2B Dogfight Double

From the beginning of 1917 until the end of the First World War, the British Air Force (Royal Flying Corps) had an agile fighter aircraft, the Bristol F.2B, available for combat in France. Its solid biplane design soon proved to be very successful, and its success grew in direct proportion to the increasing experience of the pilots. The aircraft was equipped with a Rolls-Royce Falcon III engine with an output of 275 horsepower. Its pilot had a forward-firing 7.7 mm Vickers machine gun and the gunner/observer a Lewis swivel machine gun of the same caliber. A total of 5329 aircraft were built. The F.2B remained in service with many air forces until the 1930s.
