Historical Information

The Fokker D.VII is a single-seat fighter that entered service with the German air forces (Luftstreitkräfte) at the end of World War I, debuting at the front in 1918. The aircraft was regarded as one of the best fighters of its era—known for its excellent maneuverability, rugged construction, and ease of handling. Its effectiveness was so high that Article 4 of the Treaty of Versailles required the complete surrender of all units to the Entente. The Fokker D.VII took part in air combats until the end of the Great War and continued in service with some armies even during the interwar period.
