Great Fokker Dr.I Picture

Here is a link to an excellent Fokker Dr.I picture I've not seen before of Fok.DRI 198/17!

I just love finding new Dr.I stuff! Keep it coming!

Regards,

Gary

From time to time new photos will emerge from someones collection. I would love to post more photos that I have in print form from my Dr.I book collection, But scanned images from print form are vary poor. I still am afraid of the whole publisher copyright situation. (not going their...) I wish that I could add more that Greg, Alex, Paul and many others have. Here is the problem as I see it. It takes a lot of work for one to find these unseen photos and Oh yes sometime a large financial investment. I don't have a problem with this and can respect their decision not to release their collection. Now, If I was in the same position that I had unseen photos I would gladly post them. My reasoning behind this is that I want to educate and mainly preserve this history that is faddy away in someones attic.

I would like to thank everyone that has donated copys of photos but the list is vary, vary small....

I thank Greg for his new book in wich new Dr.I photos aper in. Nice to see these..

The next step is to identify the new and past existing photos properly. There are a lot of people on this forum that are experts in this like Dan-San.

Oh, if you do have any new photos let me know....

Lloyd...
