On display at Luftwaffenmuseum Gatow. When Anthony Fokker persuaded German authorities to fit a synchronised machine gun to his prototype E.1 Eindecker, the Luftstreitkräfte had its first fighter. Feldfliegerabteilungen 62 (Fl Abt 62) commanded by Hptm. Kastner had two pilots, Oswald Boelcke and his student Max Immelmann who were to pioneer air combat. Flying the Eindecker, both aces became household names and received the coveted Pour le Mérite for eight victories apiece on 12 Jan. 1916.

Seen in the Luftwaffe Museum, this aircraft type first flew in May 1915. It was the first aircraft that had a synchronised gun firing through the propellor disc which made it very accurate in combat.
