NEW RELEASES FOR MARCH 2021
THE KNIGHTS OF THE SKIES

The Fokker Dr.I Dreidecker (triplane) was built by Fokker-Flugzeugwerke. The Dr.I saw widespread service in the spring of 1918.
It became renowned as the aircraft in which Manfred von Richthofen gained his last 20 victories, and in which he was killed on 21 April 1918.

Compared to the Albatros and Pfalz fighters, the Dr.I offered exceptional maneuverability. Though the ailerons were not very effective, the rudder and elevator controls were light and powerful. Rapid turns, especially to the right, were facilitated by the triplane's marked directional instability. Vizefeldwebel Franz Hemer of Jasta 6 said, "The triplane was my favorite fighting machine because it had such wonderful flying qualities. I could let myself stunt — looping and rolling — and could avoid an enemy by diving with perfect safety. The triplane had to be given up because although it was very maneuverable, it was no longer fast enough.

Looks great, iconic aircraft.

Must have been pretty good demand for the Von Richthofen tripe for John to re-issue it. Looks great and I'm sure this updated version will be popular. :salute:: -- Al

Received my JJD Voss Triplane. I have noted how much improvement goes into each new plane released.
My first was the Luke Spad. very nice. a show piece already.
But since then and my new Voss Fokker F1. I noted:
the gun sights are thinner finer and more accurate. the small details are more refined,
and the the propellor has a more realistic look to the wood grain, color, detail, and now has the manufacturers markings on it. It is a work of art on it's own.

These get better with each new model, I am very happy with my JJD Knights of The Skies collections, and look forward to more.
