"Agile as the Devil"
In October 1917, The Fokker DR 1 began
to appear in numbers over the Western
Front. The Triplane, or "Dreidecker" as it
was also known, possessed a top speed
of 115 mph and a superior rate of climb.
Though its engine was considered a little
underpowered, the DR 1 achieved a level
of maneuverability that prompted Manfred
Von Richtofen to write of its qualities,
"Climbs like an ape, and as agile as the
Devil." While the Red Baron scored
victories 60-80 in a Fokker DR 1, poor
quality control tarnished the promise of
this fighter, as many of them broke up in
flight and crashed
