This work outlines the exploits of the German aces that fought in the aerial battles in the final years of the Great War.\u003cbr\u003eDesigned in a great rush at the end of 1917 just in time to take part in the German standard fighter competition held in January\/February 1918, the D VII easily walked away with first prize. As Germanys premier fighter unit, von Richthofens JG I (led by Hermann Goring in the wake of the 'Red Baron's' recent death) received the first examples of the D VII to reach the frontline in late April. Built to oppose the new generation of French SPAD XIIIs and British SE 5as and Camel fighters, the D VII was arguably the best all-round fighting scout of the Great War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55494138233206,"sku":"9781841765334","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_26584323.jpg?v=1744628661","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781841765334-fokker-d-vii-aces-of-world-war-1","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
