Operation AXIOM: The World War
October 1917: Deliveries of the Fokker Dr.I (Dreidecker, "triplane") began to Richthofen's "Flying Circus," Jagdgeschwader 1; the Red Baron scored the last nineteen of his eighty victories in a Dr.I; highly praised for its maneuverability & the most iconic aeroplane of the war, only three hundred twenty Dr.I were ever produced, in part due to a relatively slow top speed & a series of wing failures.
Lest we forget.
