Manfred von Richthofen's JG 1 was the first Jasta to completely re-equip with the new fighter, and in the skilled hands of its numerous aces the Dr I proved a formidable opponent. The Dr I remained in service on the Western Front until replaced by the superior Fokker D VII in May 1918. Just weeks prior to that, however, Germany's leading ace, the great ‘Red Baron', had been killed at the controls of a Dr I. The revolutionary triplane design adopted by Fokker was inspired by the equally successful Sopwith's Triplane, and although built in remarkably small numbers, the Fokker Triplane legend has made it the best known aircraft to emerge from World War 1. Now you can build and fly one of the most famous and feared fighter planes of WW-1. The Fokker Triplane was the plane flown by the Red Baron, Manfred Von Richtofen. His blood-red Triplane was one of the most recognizable aircraft in the war. The Kit you get from Airdrome Aeroplanes is complete in every way up to your final color coat. The kit and the excellent builder support you will receive from Airdrome Aeroplanes will get you in the air in a fraction of the time needed to build other WW-1 replica aircraft.
