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 entered 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 strength of this
airplane.
