Airfix - 1:72 Fokker E.II Eindecker

Airfix: 1:72 Fokker E.II Eindecker

The Fokker Eindecker was the first purpose built German WWI fighter aircraft and the first to be fitted with gun synchronization gear, which allowed the pilot to shoot through the arc of the propeller and in his line of sight. Once introduced, it took a withering toll of Allied aircraft.
The technical developments incorporated in the design of the Fokker E Series of armed scouts, allowed German pilots to fire their guns along their line of sight and made attacking another aircraft much easier – significantly it gave them a much higher possibility of securing a victory. This proved to be a huge advantage for Luftstreitfrafte pilots and led to a period of air superiority for the Germans in the air battles over the Western Front.
