Depends on which one. He flew several, but his most famous was a Fokker DR.1 triplane. His first plane he painted red was an Albatross. His plane did not have a nickname in the sense of the striped tomato or the general lee (despite those being cars), but he flew in a unit known as the flying circus.

The Sopwith Triplane was flown by both the Royal Flying Corps and Royal Naval Air Service. It took the Germans entirely be surprise and led to them creating the Fokker Dr I triplane, themselves. In the only known instance of a triplane vs triplane encounter, the Sopwith, flown by a member of the famous Black squadron (predominently Canadian pilots) shot down the Fokker, which was flown as a 'loaner' to a member of Von Richtoffen's 'Flying Circus'. Motorcycle fans may recognise the names of some of the Black squadron as, Black Shadow, Black Lightening, Black Prince, etc, which were used as model designations by HRD-Vincent Motorcycles. The Sopwith Triplane did not have a long service life and was replaced the Camel by the time the RFC and RNAS became the Royal Air Force.Regards Richard Wm ShortOttawa - Canada
yes there is
The only similarity is that they were both supreme fighter aircraft in their time.
That's a triplane. Perhaps the best known example is the Fokker Dr1 triplane made famous by German fighter pilot Manfred von Richthofen, better known as the Red Baron.
Germany's Red Baron flew a peculiar type of fighter plane in World War One. It had three wings and was called the Fokker DR1 triplane.
The Fokker Dr. Dreidecker airplane, was invented by Reinhold Platz and built by Fokker-Flugzeugwerke. It was a triplane which meant it had three levels of wings. The first flight was on July 5, 1917.
The first real fighter plane was the Fokker E1, designed by Antoine Fokker in 1914.

The first real fighter plane was the Fokker E1, designed by Dutch aircraft designer Antoine Fokker in 1914. At the time, Fokker was working for the Germans.
The Fokker triplane, specifically the Fokker Dr.I, was introduced during World War I, with its first flight occurring in 1917. It became famous for its distinctive three-wing design and was primarily used by the German Luftstreitkräfte. The aircraft gained notoriety largely due to its association with ace pilot Manfred von Richthofen, also known as the Red Baron.
