The Triplane was briefly succesful with a couple of British and French naval fighter squadrons early in 1917, but had structural and maintenance issues, and was armed with one machine gun only. The Fokker Dr.I was developed in response. This photo is copyright © Peter de Jong, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
