Balsa USA 1/4 FOKKER D-V111 82"SP. .90/120 4C

German World War I Fighter

The D-VIII Has it all!
Power, Grace and Style

When the new Foker D-VIII hit the front lines in late October of 1918, Reinhold Platz's remarkable design work was vindicated. The aircraft easily out performed and out ran Allied aircraft with twice the D-VIII's horsepower. Allied pilots quickly recognized how dangerous the new fighter was and dubbed it "The Flying Razor", as its monplane configuration made it difficult to see, especially when coming at you!
