High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Fokker Dr.I Dreidecker (triplane) was a World War I fighter aircraft built by Fokker- Flugzeugwerke. The Dr.I saw widespread service in the spring of 1918. It became renowned as the aircraft in which Manfred von Richthofen gained his last 20 victories, and in which he was killed on 21 April 1918. In February 1917, the Sopwith Triplane began to appear over the Western Front. The Sopwith swiftly proved itself superior to the Albatros fighters then in use by the Luftstreitkrafte. Fokker- Flugzeugwerke responded by converting an unfinished biplane prototype into the V.4, a small, rotary- powered triplane with a steel tube fuselage and thick cantilever wings, first developed during Fokker's government-mandated collaboration with Hugo Junkers. Initial tests revealed that the V.4 had unacceptably high control forces resulting from the use of unbalanced ailerons and elevators.
