Triplane.

During World War 1, the tri-wing design was very successful fighter design for the German Fokker Dr.1. So other countries tried copying this concept; some with success and some were not so great. There were also bombers built that had 3 wings.

Sopwith Triplane - British design which the Germans copied. This aircraft had flight controls on all three sets of wings(which were equal chord width), whereas the German Fokker only had ailerons on the top wing, the largest of the 3 wings.
