Fokker DR.1 Dreidecker, Aircraft flown by Manfred von Richthofen, Kommandeur Geschwader 1, March 1918.
Bristol F.2B Fighter, No.39 (Home Defence) Squadron, North Weald, Essex, England, September 1918.
The pace of aviation development during the First World War was nothing short of astonishing, with aeroplanes transforming from flimsy, unarmed observation platforms to deadly dominators of the sky in less than a twelve month period of fighting.
The year 1917 would prove to be a significant one for the air war over the trenches of the Western Front, as the British introduced their capable Bristol F.2B Fighter, a true multi-role aircraft and the Germans their Fokker DR.1, an aircraft which would be made famous by the feared Manfred von Richthofen.
The scene was set for a period of unrelenting aerial combat, as both sides struggled for supremacy of the skies.
