Do these books only cover the curtis aircraft or do they have any details about the Fokker DVII that they acquired after WW1.
I would love to learn more about the DVII in marine service.

The D.VII will not be covered for a few more volumes. Vol. 5 will cover the Foreign acquisitions during the war that were used by the USN in combat. The D.VII is a post-war acquisition.
