Fokker Dr.1 Red Baron History:

The Fokker triplane is among the best known of the WW I German fighters. It was while flying the triplane that the top-scoring fighter pilot of the War, Manfred von Richthofen ("The Red Barron") met his death.

In August 1917, the first made Fokker aircrafts were brought to Jagdgeschwader I. It was led by Manfred Von Richtonfen. He destroyed a British R.E. 8 in September 1, 1917 when he made his first kill.

Werner Voss took off a Fokker and met the SE5a's in one of the famous fights during World War I. He fought five British aces all alone. In McCudden's Flying Fury: Five Years in the Royal Flying Corps, he told that Voss fiercely kept them at the bay and destroyed their planes. But because of their numbers, Voss's aircraft had a break on its tail.

In October 30, a German pilot died because the upper wing of the aircraft broke off. The same thing happened after that. These accidents were the reason why the aircraft was suspended. They checked and examined the aircraft and they found out that the aileron attachment points and glue joints were the cause of the accidents. Within a month, the aircraft returned to service.

Another problem that they found out was the Fokker is slower than other fighter aircrafts and it is difficult to handle. Engine failures also occurred in 1918.



*Alteration on the design such as change of paint schemes and markings or embodied features on our models occurs at any time. Detachable stand is included with the model which may vary from the photo.


  JOHN PARKER  - I bought this Red Baron Fokker DR1 a few weeks ago and was very happy with. It shows a lot of craftmanship to make one of these and most of all you get your moneys worth here a pacific warplanes.they treat you right and customer service is what there all about.


  Graeme Perton  - I just purchased this model for my sons bedroom - A suggestion to any of you thinking of doing the same thing - get the wall mount they sell because the kids do not leave it alone and this isnt a toy - it is a somewhat delicate sculpture.

The workmanship in this model is incredible. I agree with Mr Parker - you get your moneys worth with these models

also the shipping container was incredible. It appears to be hand cut foam which surrounds the model - it arrived in perfect condition

thank you and I can highly recommend the company to anyone


  Lynn Garrison  - During the sixties I operated a War One film facility in Ireland that featured in The Blue Max, You Can’t Win ‘Em All, Zeppelin, Richthofen & Brown, The Red Baron, and Darling Lili. My collection of 27 War One replicas included two Fokker Dr.1s. This was one of the trickiest aircraft I have ever flown, however, on once you mastered its eccentricities the Dr.1 was a charm. Last week a friend sent my your red Dr.1. It is great but I wish he had sent the new Voss model which gets away from the tendency to paint all Dr.1s red.
