No.38, THE FOKKER MONOPLANES
THE FOKKER SCOURGE!
This 1965-published Profile provided excellent coverage by Jack Bruce on the early German Fokker Eindeckers that caused so much havoc on their Western Front debut in 1915. The first fighters armed with a forward-firing synchronised machine gun they revolutionised air warfare at a stroke bringing down many low-powered Allied spotting machines with consummate ease. This title provides an authoritative record type and is in VGC with slight wear on the covers.
Profile No.38 describing the Fokker Monoplanes was written by Jack Bruce and published in 1965. Here is the absorbing history of Fokker's first successful fighter aeroplane and the first to feature a workable synchronised machine gun that could fire through the arc of the airscrew without striking the blades-most of the time... Eindecker pilots of 1915-1916 decimated the slow lumbering RFC reconnaissance types that soon coined the term 'Fokker Fodder'. Illustrated with 20 photos and over eight colour profiles, this booklet presents a first rate guide to these highly effective early single seat fighters.
