Made famous by the theatrical exploits of Manfred Von Richtoften, more popularly known as the 'The Red Baron', the Fokker triplane entered service in September 1917 piloted by the fighter ace. Evangelising its high manoeuvrability and rate of climb, the Fokker Dr. 1 was delivered to front line squadrons in October 1917. Of the 320 aircraft which entered service, sadly none today exist. One of the few aeroplanes to have massive international appeal during this period, the Nieuport Nie 17 was exported from France to eighteen countries as far apart as Thailand, Russia and the United States of America. Having captured a number themselves, the Germans then transported the aircraft to their own aviation companies who then made almost identical copies for the German Air Force. Designed by Alliot Vernon Roe in 1913, the Avro 504 entered service at the outbreak of the Great War on both combat reconnaissance missions. A single seat version introduced in 1915 which sported a much larger fuel capacity enabled it to enter into longer reconnaissance missions of up to four and a half hours' duration. In 1915 four Avro 504's staged a spectacularly daring raid on the Zeppelin factory at Germany's Lake Constance destroying the hydrogen plant and heavily affecting the country's ability to produce more of these hovering menaces. Built by the Sopwith Aviation Company for use by the Royal Flying Corp the Royal Navy, the euphemistically named Sopworth Pup was in reality badged the Sopwith Scout. Revered for its ease of flying, agility manoeuvrability, this aircraft found fame in 1917 when it became the first aircraft to land on a moving ship. Soon afterwards, a number of Pups were deployed to a wide variety of ships, cruisers battleships hastily modified to support their operations. Featured in World War 1 Fighters is the Zeppelin LZ62, the first of the 'Super Zeppelin' class, a veteran of ten bombing raids over England no less.
