Fokker DR-1 Aces of WWI This is on of the most infomative and accurate books I've ever seen on the tri-plane. The color plates are very good references for avid modelers such as myself. I am more than happy with this product.
Great book w/ many Profiles Another great job by Osprey. Very good info on the Dr.1 and its pilots. 40 profiles, showing many top views of wings and stabilizer/elevators. Shows a few cowls, also. Good index. Good for the price.
NOTE: There is a great deal of debate over the colors of WW1 German aircraft, because all the photos are black and white! I would say this book chooses some colors that might disagree with the more knowledgeable WW1 aircraft enthusiast. Remember that this book is a basic review of the Dr.1, and it does not spend 10 pages looking into what color Voss' cowl was, whether or not Lothar von Richthofen's upper wing was yellow.
Dreidecker aces This is a very good book. If you are a modeller, so buy it. If you, like me, is just interested on this subject, buy it as well. Comprehensive photo material and superb color plates. Unlike in Albatros Aces, this time Mr. Franks has added a good number of accounts, some personal, of the events about the units and the men who fought in and against the famous, although short lived, Fokker triplane, the "Red Baron" included. Excellent.
