Saturday Night greetings to all the Canteeners out there, it's time for the Saturday Sortie. As a follow up to last night's Flyby on the Sopwith Camel tonight for the Sortie we will have a look at Fokker's DR.1 Triplane.

The Dr.1 was developed as a response to the Sopwith Triplane that appeared over the Western Front in Febuary of 1917. The Sopwith Triplane was superior to the Albatross fighter that the Imperial German Air Force was using at that time. Fokker-Flugzeugwerke responded to the Sopwith Triplane with a triplane that was developed from an unfinished biplane prototype. Named the V.4 the intial Fokker triplane had unacceptably high control forces resulting from the use of unbalanced ailerons and elevators.

Rather than submit the V.4 for flight tests Fokker built up a new version dubbed the V.5. The V.5 had horn-balanced ailerons and elevators. The wings were also revised with a longer span and interplane struts to help reduce wing flex. Power was provided by a Oberursel Ur.II 9-cylinder rotary engine of 110 hp. This was a cloned version of the French Le Rhone rotary engine. Max speed was about 115mph witha ceiling of 20,000feet or so.

Combat evaluations begin in August of 1917 when two F.1 pre-production prototypes were delivered to Jastas 10 and 11. Barron von Richtofen took up one of the test aircraft and proceeded to shoot down two Allied aircraft in two days. Richtofen was impressed and reported to the General Staff that the Fokker was superior to the Sopwith Triplane. Nears as I can tell only about 300 or so DR.1 Triplanes were ordered. Only 14 squadrons used the Dr.1 triplane as their primary equipment and Triplane numbers peaked at about 175 in December of 1917.

The Fokker Triplane was a very manuverable aircraft in large part due to the handling quirks that the rotary engine imparted to the DR.1. While the Fokker was a very maneuverable aircraft Allied fighters were proving to be faster and stronger than the DR.1. Shortages of castor oil, which the rotary engines used, led to an increasing number of engine failures as the German ersatz lubes were not up to the task.

There are quite a few reproduction Fokker DR.1 triplanes in existence. There are at least four in New Zealand and two are at Old Rhinebeck in New York among the flying replicas. Most of the replicas use a modern radial engine but there are a few flying with a rotary engine. Well on with the pics.

Well we lead off with a head on pictures, most of tonights pics are from Warbirds over New Zealand.

A nice side few of the Fokker.

Here's a nice action shot of a Fokker swooping over the trenches so to speak.

A gaggle of 5 Fokker triplanes out on patrol looking for enemy aircraft.

I wonder if our intrepid pilot has made a strafing run on the Chipmunk down below?

Well we have to close out tonight's Sortie with this action shot of the Fokker Triplane.

Hope everybody has a great week ou there. Stay safe and we hope to see you next weekend.

Regards
