Description
"The Fokker D.VII was a German World War I fighter aircraft designed by Reinhold Platz of the Fokker-Flugzeugwerke. Germany produced around 3,300 D.VII aircraft in the second half of 1918. In service with the Luftstreitkrafte, the D.VII quickly proved itself to be a formidable aircraft. The Armistice ending the war specifically required Germany to surrender all D.VIIs to the Allies. Surviving aircraft saw continued widespread service with many other countries in the years after World War."
{NOTE: This image is lifted from a short newsreel clip of Goering taking off his head gear and removing his ear plugs, giving the impression that he had just completed a mission in the air. The sequence was probably staged for the camera.}
