Fokker Dr. 1

Fokker Dr.1
This aircraft is a reproduction and is painted to represent the one flown by Lt. Arthur Rahn,  He is credited with six confirmed kills.  Of course the Dr. 1 is also the plane flown by Rittmeister Manfred von Richthofen (the "Red Baron") who scored 19 of his last 21 kills in it.  It lasted less than a year until it was succeeded by the Fokker d. Vii (newer and faster).

Thanks to the NMUSAF Dayton, OH for the information provided.
