I've always adored WWI fighter planes, my favourite being the Fokker DR.I, followed very closely by the SE5a! Recently I too got to see the Fokker in action, because there was a historical Aircraft show here in Germany, not far from where I live. The sound alone gave me the shivers and to see the amazing maneouvers these things are able to fly was nothing short of spectacular. Thank you so much for sharing this, so I got to see them again^^

@sickbuffalo Except for the DR-1 replicas all of the 'Fokkers' in the "Blue Max" were WW2 de Havilland Tiger Moth Trainers.

The only two remaining DR-1s were on display in Berlin and were destroyed by Allied bombing during WW2. I feel the best part of the collection, was the creation of Wingnut Wings 1/32 scale models in Welington. They are inexspensive and beautifully done.

No I don't think these planes were originals, although they do get some very rare originals at this airshow. There are some very good accurate replicas.

Fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing.
Even though most may not be orginals (were there any?) this video is just unbelievable.

Brave men, no matter which side they flew on. No parachutes, planes of ffabric and wire.
