Many historians say that the Fokker DVII is the best overall aircraft of World War I. It probably was the best German fighter of World War I.
The aircraft was first flown in January of 1918 by Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron. He suggested some changes to it that the manufacturer complied with. The results was an aircraft that was praised by its pilots as being especially easy to fly.
Quick response to controls, stall resistance, excellent maneuverability, a high service ceiling, the ability to out climb and out dive other aircraft, were all characteristics of the fighter aircraft. Indeed, few Allied aircraft could match its overall performance.
The factory could not produce sufficient numbers of the Fokker DVII for the war effort, so production was outsourced to Albatros and Ostdeutsche Albatros Werke.
A total of about 1,700 of the aircraft were produced prior to the end of the war.
