ISBN: 1841765333 ISBN-13: 9781841765334 Publisher: Osprey Publishing (UK) OUR PRICE: $22.50 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: March 2003 Annotation: Designed in a great rush at the end of 1917 just in time to take part in the German standard fighter competition held in January/February 1918, the D VII easily walked away with first prize. As Germanys premier fighter unit, von Richthofens JG I (led by Hermann Goring in the wake of the 'Red Baron's' recent death) received the first examples of the D VII to reach the frontline in late April. Built to oppose the new generation of French SPAD XIIIs and British SE 5as and Camel fighters, the D VII was arguably the best all-round fighting scout of the Great War. |
