The Fokker E.I as Germany’s first fighter aircraft, with a synchronized machine gun firing through the propeller arc. Its successor, the E.II, featured an upgraded 100hp Oberursel U.I engine to give a bit of extra power over the original 80hp U.0. Many of Germany’s top aces started on the E.I or E.II or their more-common successor the E.III.
Six full-color 1:144 Fokker E.I and E.II miniatures are now available from Great War Planes by Reduced Aircraft Factory. They make great additions to an early-war collection for WWI airplane gaming.
