A Fokker DR1 I'd like to see... (1 Viewer)

[Fraxinus]

I will deny that I typed this, but Goring's White Fokker D.VII has the potential for a very high score in SNAZZY!!!

Save room for the Friedrichshafen G.III.

Same size as the Gotha but only 2/3 the range so it couldn't bomb London. But the Gotha is the famous one even though less than 50 were built while the G.III was a better plane with almost 1000 built and it was well used on the western front for night bombing.

The Germans also had a 4 engine bomber called the Giant - I think the wingspan was 132 ft vs. 78 ft for the Gotha and G.III. The Giant made a few raids on London. I think less than 20 were built.

There is a very good book on the Giants. Titled "The German Giants:The German R Planes 1914-1918" by G.H. Haddow and Peter Grosz. Published by Putnam in several printings. -- Al
