Introducing the RAC Aircraft: Fokker Dr.I “Triplane” G-BVGZ. Built in 1994, this Fokker Dr.I Dreidecker replica represents one of the most feared fighter aircraft of the First World War. The type achieved legendary status through its devastating use by Manfred von Richthofen the “Red Baron”. While faithfully recreating the iconic appearance of the original triplane, G-BVGZ is powered by a Lycoming engine. No original Fokker Dr.I triplanes survive in flying condition today, making flying replicas

Arthur Rahn in April 1918 when he served with Jagdstaffel 19 during WWI. Lt. Rahn is credited with six confirmed victories. The aircraft was placed on display in April 1994. #avgeek #WWI #history | National Museum of the U.S. Air Force | Facebook
