1 Fokker D.V (OAW) 1 GERMAN WW FGHTER 1:4 SCALE LASTC KT NTRO... Anthony Fokker, a young Duthman living in Germany, founded his first manufaturing faility in Germany as a twenty two year old in 112. From 1, it operated from Shwerin, and from the outbreak of the First World War, was a supplier of airraft to the German air fore. The name Fokker gained reognition in 115 with the introdution of the 'E' fighters. The E., E. and E., as the first types to feature a synhronized gun firing through the propeller arh, enabled the German air fore to gain superiority over the Western Front. n June, 116, Fokker's hief designer beame Reinhold latz, a man with no formal higher training, who nevertheless possessed a brilliane and natural tehnial ability that allowed him to develop even the most unorthodox of Fokker's ideas. The ollaboration of these two men led to the development of Dr.1 Dreideker (Triplane), that in its red guise, was made eternally famous by the Red Barron, Manfred von Rihthofen. Fokker's Triplane gave the German pilots a very effetive weapon. The onentration of weight nearest to the entre of gravity gave the airraft exellent manoeuvreability, but onsequently also some unfriendly harateristis. Fokker s new onstrution approah, the ombination of fuselage and tail units, onstruted of welded metal tube, and a wooden self-supporting wing of thiker ross-setion, proved to be an exellent ombination. n the next step of the evolution, it was improved upon by the marriage of the airframe with an effetive water ooled inline engine. Biplane prototypes V and V1 built to this design philosophy dominated the first GermanAir Fore fighter ompetition (from the January 21st to the 2th, 11). Aording to the evaluation, the airraft were deemed high-performing, but arrying some unwanted flying quirks. V was during the ourse of one night and morning extensively modified. The fuselage was reportedly lengthened by 40m, and the tail surfaes were inreased. t may well be true, but a omparison of photographs of the V prototype and the series prodution airraft raises doubts. The atual airraft may be a later prototype, possibly V/. n any ase, the vitor of the evaluation was Fokker, and from the winning prototype ame the elegant and high performing Fokker D.V. rodution of the Fokker D.V was initiated in late spring, 11. A prodution liense was obtained by Albatros, who manufatured the airraft also at its prodution faility at OAW (Ostdeutshe Albatros Werke). The three manufatured types showed some differenes, suh as the engine owl. Changes were also introdued on the prodution line. An inreasing ooling problem saw the addition of intakes and openings that improved airflow around the engine. Similar problems surrounding the ammunition ontainers led to another modifiation of ooling systems. These Fokkers were produed with three different engines, the Meredes D. (output of 160k), the Meredes D.a (175k), and the BMW a (15k). Airraft equipped with the BMW powerplant were designated by Fokker as the Fokker D.VF, while the other two weren't differentiated by designation. For this reason, identifiation of the BMW types is diffiult. One telling harateristi is that the guns on the BMW types was plaed notieably higher, while the guns on the Meredes powered units were pratially mounted on the top surfae of the fuselage. n all, there were 200 Fokker D.Vs produed in all versions. The first of them were reeived by front line units in early summer, 11.Are-equipping to the type by front line units, the Jastas (Jasta = JAgd STAffel), and a orresponding modifiation of tatis, signifiantly raised the ombat quality of the units. The Fokker D.V was an airraft that anelled the long lasting Allied advantage in the air. However, the D.V did not better Allied types in all respets. The Sopwith Camel ould outturn the Fokker, and the SAD X and Se 5a were typially faster, espeially where the Meredes powered D.Vs were onerned. The BMW powered airraft had better performane, but the engines were in onstant short supply. So, what was it that propelled the Fokker D.V to its legendary status? t was a ombination of a balane of its performane and flight harateristis, ease of handling, and simple and reliable onstrution that was also very robust. German pilots, with the D.V, were given a weapon that ould be ounted on. t was during these late war months when a large number of German pilots gained their greatest suess, typially flying the Fokker D.V. However, it was also one of the reasons, why the seond half of 11 beame the bloodiest timeframe of the First World War. eduard Fokker D.V TECHNCAL DATA: LENGTH: 6,5m/,02 ft HEGHT: 2,75m/,0 ft WNG SAN:,m/ 2,1 ft MAX.TAKEOF WEGHT: 46 kg/ 205, lb EMTY WEGHT: 742 kg/ 16,1 lb MAX.SEED with MERCEDES D.a: 17 km/h in 1000m, 10 km/h in 2000m MAX.SEED with BMW D.a: 200 km/h in 1000m, 15 km/h in 2000m NTAL CLMB RATE: 7,00 m/s (limb to 1000m with Meredes D.a in 3 4,with BMW in 1 45 ) SERVCE CELNG 7000m/ 66 ft RANGE 450 km/ 2 nm ARMAMENT: 2x LMG 0/15 7,2mm

Hasso von Wedel, Jasta 23s Hasso von Wedel beame ommander of Sahsishe Jasta 24s in late August, 11. n September, he laimed latest three of his total five vitories. His airraft were personalized with the family badge, the red exeution wheel (Rihtrad), whih was applied on the sides of this BMW engine powered Fokker D.V too. Von Wedel ontinued in his flying areer during early World War as a member ot Stab/JG3, until September 15th, 140, when his Bf 10E was shot down over England by a 4th squadron pilot. He was repatriate for serious injury, and died at May 1st, 145, during Battle of Berlin. Hasso von Wedel byl konem srpna 11 jmenován velitelem saské Jasta 24s, a v září vybojoval na Fokkereh poslední ze svýh pěti vzdušnýh vítězství. Své letouny si zdobil rodovým znakem - popravčím kolem (Rihtrad). Ani tento, motorem BMW vybavený Fokker D.V (OAW) nebyl výjimkou. Von Wedel se k bojovým letům vrátil za druhé světové války. Létal v řadáh Stab/JG3 až do 15.září 140, kdy byl nad Anglií sestřelen pilotem 4.squadrony RAF. Upadl do zajetí, ze kterého byl pro zranění repatriován zpět do Němeka. Zahynul 1.května 145 v Berlíně, během dobývání města Rudou armádou. H O2 17?54 32 O3 1 V 51 H M, O2, O3: H 7 10 (O.A.W.) 2, ?46 50 M 35?4 35 H ?54 2 ALUMNUM H VOLET 52 WHTTE WOOD H (O.A.W.) eduard

9 Hier Niht Anheben (O.A.W.) Hier Niht Anheben B. Franz Bühner, Jasta Franz Buhner was a true star with Jasta in the losing months of the war. He was just 16 when he fought on the Yper Front in 114, and beame a pilot at 1.When he beame ommander of Jasta, his tally amounted to only four kills. Flying mostly D.Vs, he built up this total to 40 through to the end of Otober, 11. The total unit sore was 10 kills when the war ended. He reeived a well deserved our le Merite on Otober 25th, 11. After the war, he ontinued as a pilot, flying as a Freikorps member in the ivil war battles, and was shot down by Red unit ground fire on Marh 1, 120, ar his native Leipzig. Franz Bühner byl skutečnou hvězdou Jasta v posledníh měsííh války. Bylo mu pouhýh 16 let, když v roe 114 bojoval na frontě u Yprů, v osmnáti se stal letem. Když byl v polovině června 11 jmenován velitelem Jasta, měl na svém kontě pouhé 4 sestřely. ilotují především Fokkery D.V, zvýšil do kone října počet sestřelů na 40 (z elkovýh 10 sestřelů elé jednotky). 25.října 11 obdržel svůj zasloužený our le Mérite. Na Fokkereh létal bojově i po vále, tentokrát v řadáh Freikorpsu, v bojíh s komunistikými povstali. 1.března 120 byl při průzkumném letu v okolí svého rodného Lipska sestřelen palbou ze země a zabit H25 25L 4 V 51 5 H 7 H 6574 /1 (O.A.W.)

At this post, he aquired his five onfirmed and two unonfirmed vitories, for a total of eleven plus five. His last onfirmed vitory, on November th, 11, was rather unusual. He attaked the last airraft in a group of No. 56 Squadron S.E.5as homeward bound on patrol. He shot the airraft down with no reation from the other British pilots. Rudolf Stark, bývalý příslušník 2.bavorského hulánského pluku, se stal stíhačem v lednu 11. Sloužil u Jasta b a Jasta 77. Od 7.června 11 působil jako velitel bavorské Jasta 35b. V řadáh této letky získal 5 potvrzenýh a 2 nepotvrzené sestřely ze svýh elkovýh +5. Zajímavý je jeho poslední sestřel z.listopadu 11, kdy shora zaútočil na letadla S.E.5a od 56.squadrony RAF, vraejíí se z hlídky. Krátkou dávkou sestřelil poslední stroj ve skupině.

Jasta 5, pilot unknown t was ommon among German fighter units to apply a unit olour to their airraft. ndividual airraft were personalized with letters, numbers, rests or speifi olours applied to omponents suh as owlings, tails or fuselage bands, among others. Large numbers of D.Vs used by 70 squadrons amounts to an unbelievable diversity of individualized marking styles, suh as this airraft flown by an unknown pilot of Jasta 5. The nose and tail olours plae this plane with that unit, and the personal markings are the red and white fuselage bands, and the badge. The olours are Hesen olours, and the badge is the rest of the Hesenian ity of Kassel. V němekém stíhaím letetvu bylo zvykem rozlišit jednotky vlastním zbarvením jejih letounů. Stroje jednotlivýh pilotů jednotky se pak dále rozlišovaly osobním označením každého pilota, například formou písmen, čísel, znaků, erbů nebo barevným nátěrem části stroje. Velké rozšíření Fokkerů D.V, které sloužily přinejmenším u 70 stíhaíh perutí, je zárukou neuvěřitelné pestrosti zbarvení těhto letadel. říkladem může být tento stroj neznámého pilota od Jasta 5. Zbarvení zádi a přídě ledadla je znak příslušnosti k Jasta 5. ndividuální označení představuje červenobílý pruh v barváh Hesenska za kabinou a v něm umístěný znak města Kassel.
