Fokker DVII
London, Hangar Two Aircraft & Exhibits
The Fokker DVII was one of the outstanding fighters of the First World War, designed to win back German air superiority. Herman Goering, later Head of Hitler's Luftwaffe, was an early DVII ace.
It was the only aircraft the Allied Powers included in the Armistice Agreement as war material to be handed over. Built in 1918 in what is now part of Poland, this aircraft was left in Ostend by retreating Germans. The Belgian Air Force used it until 1931 and the English collector Richard Nash acquired it in 1937. It is probably a composite airframe.
