Using this comment for some COVID-19 announcements. 1. We are all safe and healthy at home. The transition to home office meant that we needed release a shorter, bit different episode on a regular upload day. There will be a regular 20 minute episode again in mid April. Stay tuned. 2. Definitely subscribe to Military Aviation History if you want to learn even more about the Fokker D.VII and other iconic aircraft: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z3yOq7hrpNzAg5s.html 3. Thank you to Flugwerft Schleißheim for letting us film with their original Fokker D.VII: www.deutsches-museum.de/en/flugwerft/information/ - highly recommend visiting this museum (when it's open again)

Ironically when fokker is dutch

I heard Manfred von Richthofen himself had some input in the D-VII’s design and that it reached frontline service just before his final mission. One of history’s great “ What if” moments if he had flown the D-VII that day instead.

The name Fokker actually has a common word origin with the English word to f*ck. A Fokker in Dutch is someone who breeds animals (like horses). There is this story about a Dutch former minister of foreign affairs Joseph Luns who told Kennedy, when asked about his hobbies, 'I fok horses'. Kennedy replied 'Pardon?' and Luns replied: 'Yes, paarden!'' (paarden means horses in Dutch).

It was grand that you included photographs of Hess and Goering. I find that it's nice to view an image of the younger, slender Goering. And Hess used his piloting skills during the Second World War as well.

Hey! Just saw Biz's video on this yesterday! But Biz is WRONG. That's a beautiful bird! And thanx for the quality content Jesse and crew, since we're having our own pandemic just a little off schedule for the centenary of the Spanish Flu.

You did forget one, guys. Bulgaria received a batch of D.VIIs just before the armistice with the Entente, these were confiscated and destroyed - except one. It was disarmed and flew for well over a decade in civilian markings, training military pilots in secret, and being the only "military" aircraft Bulgaria possessed for a while after the treaty of Neuilly. It even went on intercepts a couple of times as Bulgaria's airspace was intruded...

It gave the SE5 a run for its money, though I reckon with the Camels & Spad's, it was enough to turn the 100 days offensive around. Great video guys. 😊

Great video

I have a radio control model of this aircraft. It has a 1.64 meter wingspan and a flying weight of ~ 4kg. It is a joy to fly and looks amazing in the air !

I liked this episode. I've heard a lot of great things about this plane. But I would love to hear about the other planes that flew in this war. Because they're were many.

I went to a air show a couple years ago. I can imagine. How many kids and adults to see her fly again. And the pilots who fly the jets today. To fly her. In tribute to the Red Baron.

I love early aircraft!! This is awesome!!

I was interested to hear your comments regarding the return of Fokker D V111 air craft to Holland at the end of the Grt War. My father was born in 1910 and as a boy lived in the south of Holland in Maastricht. He told me that one of his vivid memories of the end of the war was seeing the German air craft flying to Holland from Germany. He thought that the air craft were leased to Germany and were returned. No proof of this was given so it could be hear say.

Hey Jesse and Christophe, and friends, check out my book on this topic, THE FIRST AIR CAMPAIGN, August 1914 - November 1918 (by Eric Lawson). It should be in the gift shop of that museum. It became a US Air Force Academy text, was translated in several languages, and was a primary source for Smithsonian websites, historical and military publications. Has great detail, important perspectives; I hope you like it. Published now by Hachette Book Group, seen on Amazon, etc. This Fokker D.VII episode is great, i love your channel!!!! Cheers, Eric

I liked this video, but it could have been better. I wish they'd said, "Here are three unique design creations which were implemented in this aircraft which made it the king of the sky in the latter part of the war." Next, they could have done a show & tell. They wet my appetite, but didn't satisfy it. If these guys are going to talk foreshadowing like that, they need to back it up in the same episode and not refer to another, not yet produced, episode.

Nonetheless, the technical and doctrinal development to conduct only even tactically decisive air operations wasn‘t yet present. The Gotha-Bomber was an advanced piece of equipment for its time but still very limited in regards to actually performing CAS or interdiction. Finally, all military aircraft production was banned in Germany after the Versailles Treaty - not just production of Gothas or Fokker VIIs.
