Fokker D.VII tailplane bracing

[dtomko]

Hi everyone,

Did all Fokker D.VIIs have the bracing wires that ran from the rudder to the top of the horizontal stabilizer? I can't see it in a number of photos, so I was wondering if that's because they aren't there or the photo quality.

Thanks for any help.

Yes they are on all D.VII types. Of special note some captured examples have thicker gauge wires possibly applied in allied testing and familiarization machines post war.

Thanks, Stephen.
