Remembrance Day 2008 # 5: Drei Fokker Dr.1 Dreidecker

Each and every one of the vintage aircraft and pilots were "stars" but the three Fokker Dr.1 Dreideckers were right up there with the best. The pilots of these aircraft not only performed impressive formation manouvers, but also engaged in some stunning mock combat with the three Se5a's present.

The Dreidecker would probably be one of the most easily recognisable World War One aircraft, not only with the three main wings but also as the famous aircraft of Manfred von Richthofen [aka "The Red Baron"] and his "flying circus".
