Airfix - Fokker EII (late) Eindecker - 1:72 (A01086)
Significant in the history of aerial warfare, the Fokker
Eindecker was the first purpose built German WWI fighter aircraft and the
first to be fitted with gun synchronisation gear, which allowed the pilot to
shoot through the arc of the propeller and in his line of sight. Once
introduced, it took a withering toll of Allied aircraft.
The technical
developments incorporated in the design of the Fokker E Series of armed
scouts, allowed German pilots to fire their guns along their line of sight
and made attacking another aircraft much easier – significantly it gave them
a much higher possibility of securing a victory. This proved to be a huge
advantage for Luftstreitfrafte pilots and led to a period of air superiority
for the Germans in the air battles over the Western Front.
