Woundfull series. The marvelous red, white STUDEBAKER HAWK, to me is a show stopper!

Why does he keep saying fusage? I want to scream at my phone and say "it's FUSELAGE"! lol

I love the Dr1. But I'll pass on flying anything that someone used a crescent wrench to install the propellor on.

Good luck and don't loose that last tube of teal!

How wonderful... The dedication, skill and love put into these reproductions is remarkable. Thanks to all involved.

Congrats on the moveThe physical part sucks.Fan of you and your work 4:21

"Working on it for years" ! lol I am sure he has never stopped working on it.

Absolutely beautiful!. Love the subject! How do you go about laying down the initial sketch onto the canvas?

Why cant Americans pronounce Fokker its not Fauxker, theres two Fokking Ks !!

The Dr1 has always been my favorite airplane of all time.

Fascinating, I admire their commitment and zeal - but most of all, the fruits of their labor of love. Incredible planes, revived for the world to see.

Those folks were cut from a different sort of cloth, and they were not all guys, e.g. Katherine Stinson - first woman to fly the U.S. Mail and at night.

I'm confused, what's a "Fuesage?"

They flew by seat of their pants no helmets, no para shoots ,just luck and a prayer.

Great video

Amazing!!!

Makes me happy to see Fok. F.1 102/17... The second of three pre-production tripes produced. Of the three F.1's, 101/17 was maintained at the Fokker factory for testing. 102/17 was issued to Jasta 11 and was flown briefly by Manfred von Richtofen for his 60th and 61st kills before being handed over to Ltn Kurt Wolff, who was killed in the aircraft. 103/17 was issued to Jasta 10 and was flown by Ltn. Werner Voss. If was Voss who got into a dogfight with seven Se.6a's of No. 56 squadron, putting bullets through all seven before he was finally shot down and killed. Fok. Dr.1 152/17 was the third of MvR's Dr.1 triplanes (fourth if you count the F.1 pre-production ship). Fok. Dr.1 454/17 was Lothar von Richtofen's Tripe. After the first batch of Dr.1's reached Jasta 11, MvR was known to have flown 114/17, which he crashed when the Oberursel II engine threw a cylinder and knocked off the cowling, 127/17, 141/17, 152/17, 161/17, 425/17 (this was the tripe he was flying when he was killed) and 477/17. Jasta 11's 'colors' were red cowlings, wing struts and wheel covers. As stated in the video, pilots would paint their own colors and markings to identify a particular pilot's aircraft. 114/17 was painted in the factory scheme of Green streaked over doped linen with a green cowling with light blue struts and under wing and under fuselage surfaces. Starting with 127/17, MvR's tripes were painted with a progression of red on the aircraft starting with the tail surfaces as seen on 152/17 in the video. 127/17, 152/17 and 425/17 were known to progress to all red at some time during their use. All the others had a red top wing and red tail surfaces with the red extending forward on the fuselage, first to the aft edge of the white field for the cross, then to the forward edge, and then to the back edge of the cockpit.

With Baltic Birch plywood being hard to find or very expensive these days, have you tried any alternatives? I've heard Maple or Birch veneered reinforced globulus plywood is a good substitute, but I haven't tried anything. I still have some Baltic Birch plywood, but it will all eventually be used. Just trying to look ahead.

Your skill and research are impeccable. That red on Richtofen's 425/17 certainly matches my memory of the tiny, poorly lit swatch of cloth at the Air Force musem in Dayton. My favorite is your super fun self-portrait. Thanks for posting!

Beautifull work!

love ww1 fighters smith brings out their glory very well

Thank you for posting

🇧🇷 nunca mencionam a envergadura da fuselagem e asa dessas maravilhas??

Was it Verner Voss ?--that took on 5 -SE-5a's--in one of the greatest dogfights of all time ??--What a Legend--"du-doch-du-painted on his tail--witch means "Its not gonna be you,-that gets me !!" fantastic video !!

My brother and I flew in to this airport in 2011, from PAE, in our dad’s Cessna 172, to spread his ashes on his mother’s grave. (You may have noticed “The Trails End” cemetery just down the road). Some of the hangers were still standing then, and the local who came out to fetch us used to keep a centurion in the hanger, which is now just a bunch of standing pilings. It’s unbelievable what the wind does to buildings in Wyoming…. and even more unbelievable the air shack is still standing. Thank you for the wonderful information about the history. We had no idea. It was the last remaining airmail air tower.

I can’t wait

There is one at the Caswell County, NC airport even today. I remember as a kid when it operated.

I shot my own video of that same site. ua-cam.com/video/M1bQYG9TeWg/v-deo.html&pp=ygUiTWVkaWNpbmUgQm93IEludGVybmF0aW9uYWwgQWlycG9ydA%3D%3D

I'm little confused about the video title. "Fokker Scourge" was July 1915 to about early 1916 referencing to the Fokker Eindecker that had the synchronized interrupter that allowed the machine guns to fire between the propellers giving it the advantage over British and French aircraft. The Fokker Dr.1 didn't enter service until 1917. I still enjoyed this part one. I'll watch part two later. Nice video and I love WWI military aviation. Thank you for posting sir

☠BLACK BARON☠ They look beautiful in a row. 👍

Very nice film, well done!

REALLY GOOD STUFF!

whats the point to apply canvas over panel?

Just watched a Greg's airplanes episode on Fokker - he started the American company that became North American. P-51, X-15, etc. What a lineage from these WW1 classics

Awesome! Great flight footage on the whole series!

Cockpit view, left side of pilot waving to the signal tower operator waving back

Most excellent!

Where was this event held?

Really good stuff but what about the high speed pass without the bloody music. We want to hear all those 80 horses let loose.

You mentioned parachutes..did they use them during WW1..

Gidday from New Zealand. We love Triplanes down here and put on a pretty good show, but what a fantastic event. Credit to all involved. I bet I know where that Le Rhone Rotary engine you were talking about was made...

I hate it when I tune into a music video and hear airplane engines.

When you have beautiful engine sounds you don't need music.

That was simply incredible. Inspiring, educational and immersive ….. Not to mention a brilliant painting. Thank you🤗

I just watched this……..and what an incredible event. Magic……well done to all involved. Sends a chill down the spine ………thank you!

Where do they get the rotary engines? I haven't heard of anyone producing them. I plan on building a Fokker Dr1 replica too, but I have no idea where to get a rotary engine. Russel, if you know where the get them, please tell me.

Phenomenal work....👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻

The Fokker scourge was when the Fokker E1 was introduced into service in mid 1915. It lasted about 5 to 6 mounts before the French and British cough up with the introduction of aircraft like the Nieuport 10.

Looks like it was a superb event! I've been to the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome a couple times and know the thrill of being near these ancient flying steeds, feeling the thrum of the engines in your chest. Almost as much fun as a Rock concert! ;) I wish you all many more of these annual Fly-Ins Featuring a Full Flock of Flying Fokkers! :o PS: Holy Fokker, did I really just say that? PPS: Any chance I could get one of those T shirts in XL? :)
