Synopsis

Designed in a great rush 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 Göring in the wake of the Red Barons 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.

This is the story of the aces that flew it, and what they achieved in combat.
