The German Fokker D.VII is frequently cited as one of the best fighter aircraft of the First World War. During the latter half of 1917, the allies had regained air superiority. To counter this, the German government invited aircraft manufacturers to submit prototype single-seat fighter designs for evaluation in Berlin in January 1918. The design with the best overall performance would be awarded a production contract. The Fokker D VII was the winner because it was easy to maneuver, strong and agile and as a result, was highly respectable by the enemy. The D.VII could “hang on its propeller” and attack upwards while other aircraft would stall and fly away. The performance of the Fokker D.VII was superior to any other aircraft used by the triumphant power. As a result, Germany had to surrender all the airplanes after the end of World War I. A total of 3,300 DVII were produced and over 700 were in service after the WW I ended.

  1. This is a nice package! I do not see a specific mention that it’s a full one-quarter-scale model. Gives the wing span, but folks may not catch on that it’s 1/4 scale. Lots of goodies and nice features come with the D7. I wish H9 would offer this in the ready to cover option as the covering is a bit shiny. However, I’d still like to see one in person. Maybe one will appear at my local RC club.

    I would also like to see a ready to cover option.
