It has been said before; The Fokker D.VII biplane had a major
impact at the end of the Great War. In 1917 the Germans
badly needed a replacement for the Fokker Dr.1 triplane to
counter the air superiority of the Nieuports and the SPAD's.
Fokker enetered the Johannestal aircraft competition with
his new fighter design, the V-11 and won the contract to
build the famous Fokker D.VII.
Many books have been written about this aircraft's general
history, but little has been documented about the way the
D.VII was constructed; how and why it was built of steel and
wood and the many interesting design features that made
the D.VII such a unique example of simplicity and
functionality.
After the war, the French, British and Americans carried out
extensive research and structural load testing on captured
D.VII's. We owe it to the researchers, that today we know
so much about the characteristics and strenght of this
aeroplane.
drawings
Original construction drawingsand technical descriptions of
this famous aeroplane are scarce, with only a few drawings
made by Fokker in existence. Over the years new drawings
of the aircraft's major components like the fuselage, tall and
wings have been made. However details such as shape and
size of many smaller components has not been put on
paper, until now!
You are now able to build your replica Fokker D.VII or scale
model to the highest level of authenticity. Drawings of all
the previously undocumented parts are now available as a
result of detailed studies of D.VII's at museums throughout
Europe.
A complete set of drawings consists of 84 detailed drawings
in easy-to-handle A3 and A4 formats. Text is in Dutch with
an English translation included.
One set of drawings cost $ 200 or € 200, postage paid.
