A Fokker Dr.I egy háromfedelű vadászrepülőgép volt, amelyet Németország használt az első világháború alatt. Anthony Fokker és Reinhold Platz tervezte, akiket a brit Sopwith Triplane ihletett. A Fokker Dr.I-nek három rövid szárnya volt, amelyek nagy manőverezhetőséget és alacsony szárnyterhelést biztosítottak, de csökkentették a sebességét és az emelkedési sebességét is. A Fokker Dr.I-et egy forgó motor hajtotta, amely 110 lóerőt produkált.
It was armed with two fixed machine guns that fired through the propeller using a synchronization gear. The Fokker Dr.I became famous as the aircraft of the Red Baron, Manfred von Richthofen, who scored his last 19 victories in it before he was killed on April 21, 1918. The Fokker Dr.I was produced in limited numbers and was withdrawn from service in the summer of 1918 due to structural problems and the arrival of more advanced fighters.
