Fokker D VII (1ª GM) - Germania: libri illustrati di storia e guide

Fokker E.V/D.VIII

This book in the popular Polish Wings series tells the story of the famous German parasol-winged WWI fighter monoplane in Polish Air Force service.
The Polish Air Force captured 17 of these Fokkers, but only seven (six E.V and one D.VIII) were in airworthy condition. All were used against Bolshevik forces in the Polish-Soviet War of 1919-1920.
Lieutenant Stefan Stec earned the first kill for the Polish Air Force, by shooting down a Ukrainian Nieuport fighter on 29 April 1919. In 1921, the remaining Fokkers were withdrawn from front-line units and transferred to the Szkoła Obsługi Lotniczej (Air Personnel School) at Poznań-Ławica airfield.

The book includes over 120 photographs and nearly 30 colour plates to profusely illustrate these aircraft. Their technical details, military markings and maintenance stencils are shown in detail.

De Fokker D.VII in dienst van de Nederlandse militaire luchtvaart

In 1918, Anthony Fokker introduced a new single-seat fighter aircraft: the Fokker D.VII. Known for its unusual design and excellent flight performance, it played a significant role in the final phase of the First World War. Even the Allies considered the Fokker D.VII the best fighter aircraft on the Western Front.
Years after the war, this design continued to influence the international aviation industry. This book provides a clear overview of the history of the Fokker D.VII in service with the Dutch air forces.
