1918 - 0969.PDF
AUGUST 29, 1918. Fokker D.4 (which, by the way, looks uncommonly like the identical machine previously depicted as D.i.—Ed.) has a water-cooled vertical engine. In the D.5 the rotary engine has come into favour again, but only one pair of interplane struts is fitted on each side. So much for the biplanes. The Fokker triplane D.R.i has already been fully described and illustrated in previous issues of " FLIGHT," and no more need be said about this type. -Whether or not there is a later, or perhaps several, type of Fokker triplane we do not know, but we understand that the triplanes were not long in vogue, chiefly, it is said, on account of a certain inconsiderate habit they had, that of leaving their top plane behind during a steep dive. The Fokker type D.VII biplane described in our issue of July 25th, 1918, brings the Fokker family fairly up to date. IN THE HANDS OF THE ENEMY.
