The Fokker D.VII (OAW) was one of the most recognizable German fighter aircraft of the late First World War. Designed in 1917 by Anton Fokker and Reinhold Platz, it featured an innovative biplane construction, a robust steel tube fuselage frame, and excellent maneuverability in the air. The model offered by Eduard reflects the version produced by the Ostdeutsche Albatros Werke (OAW) factory. The Fokker D.VII entered combat units in May 1918 and quickly gained recognition for both its simplicity in handling and its effectiveness in aerial combat—it was used, among others, on the Western Front and during the Polish–Soviet War (1920). After the end of WWI, aircraft of this type also served in the air forces of Austria-Hungary, Poland, France, and other countries, remaining in use as training and instructional machines until the 1930s.
