2007 Fokker D.VII buvo Vokietijos Pirmojo pasaulinio karo naikintuvas, kurį suprojektavo Reinholdas Platzas iš "Fokker-Flugzeugwerke". Vokietija 1918 m. antroje pusėje pagamino apie 3 300 D.VII lėktuvų. Dirbdamas su "Luftstreitkräfte", D.VII greitai pasirodė esąs didžiulis orlaivis. Paliaubos, užbaigiančios karą, konkrečiai reikalavo, kad Vokietija atiduotų visus D.VII sąjungininkams. Išlikę orlaiviai po Pirmojo pasaulinio karo daug tarnavo daugelyje šalių.

2007 Fokker D.VII was one of the most successful fighter planes of World War I. It was designed by Reinhold Platz of the Fokker-Flugzeugwerke company in Germany, and first flew in January 1918. The biplane had a sturdy steel structure and a thick cantilever wing that gave it excellent maneuverability and performance. It was powered by either a Mercedes or a BMW engine, and armed with two machine guns.
The Fokker D.VII quickly gained a reputation as a formidable opponent in the air, and was favored by many German pilots, including the famous Red Baron, Manfredas von Richthofenas. The Allies were so impressed by the Fokker D.VII that they demanded its surrender as part of the Armistice terms that ended the war. About 3,300 Fokker D.VIIs were built, and some of them continued to serve in various countries after the war.
