The Fokker Dr.I, the most well known German fighter of WWI, came into history as "The Red Barons plane". Rittmeister Manfred Von Richthofen, the number one ace of WWI, with twenty planes claimed in the Dr.I (from 80 total air victories). The Fokker Dreidecker wasn't considered the best WWI plane, but it did receive the honor of "The most popular aircraft of all the German aces". The Sopwith Triplane appearing in early 1917, became the new opponent to their Albatross D.III. The Fokker company, who was developing (at the same time) a new project; the D.VI biplane, received an order from the Idflieg for a new triplane aircraft. First, German air command proposed to copy the Sopwith Triplane (like Pfalz Flugzeugwerke previously had copied the Morane designs). But Anthony Fokker in the short term adopted the D.VI to triplane standards.
