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.

Who flew the sopwith triplane?

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
