Introduced over the western front in August 1917, the Fokker Triplane soon
became the favorite plane of Germany’s greatest World War 1 ace, Baron
Manfield von Richthofen. After scoring numerous aerial victories, von
Richthofen was shot down in a triplane on April 21, 1918. While credit was
given to Captain Roy
Brown of the R.A.F., some believe he was brought down
by ground fire. |
