EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a German Fokker E IV single-seater fighter monoplane, a formidable aerial weapon from the First World War. With a powerful 160 hp engine, this aircraft was a significant advancement in military aviation technology during the war years of 1915-1918. The Fokker E IV in this image is a special three-gun model, custom-built for the renowned German fighter pilot, Max Immelmann. Immelmann was a leading ace of the German Air Service, credited with shooting down 15 enemy planes before his untimely death in combat in 1916. The Fokker E IV was a monoplane, meaning it had a single wing, which provided better maneuverability and stability compared to biplane models of the time. Its sleek design, with a pointed fuselage and large propeller, made it an intimidating sight in the skies. The aircraft's fuselage was constructed from wood and covered in fabric, while the wings were made of spruce and plywood. Its open cockpit exposed the pilot to the elements, requiring them to be fully focused on the task at hand. The Fokker E IV was armed with three synchronized machine guns, mounted in the forward fuselage, allowing the pilot to fire through the propeller arc without risking damage. This deadly combination of power, maneuverability, and firepower made the Fokker E IV a formidable opponent in the skies of the Great War. This photograph captures the essence of the era, with the Fokker E IV sitting proudly on a grassy field, ready for its next sortie. The image is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the pioneering aviators who took to the skies during the First World War, forever changing the face of warfare.
