Possibly the most famous aircraft of World War 1 and the scourge of the RGC over the Western Front, the Fokker Dr.1 was flown by many famous aces including the legendary Manfred von Richthofen, and represented a significant advance in aeronautical design, proving to be extremely manouevrable and out-performing most Allied types. This book is the culmination of many years of research by recognised authority, Paul Leaman (secretary of Cross & Cockade International, the World War 1 aviation Society, and author of several works on WW! Aviation). It is likely to become the standard reference work for years to come. The text - which covers the development of the aircraft, operational deployment, technical description, etc - is supplemented by approximately 400 photographs, many never previously published and by beautiful full-colour
