Description
DVll and SE5
Close to the ultimate in aircraft design in WW1 the Fokker DVll and Se5 tangle in combat in the winter sky of late 1918. Far in advance of the ‘stick and string’ offerings of 1914 both these aircraft would stay in service with various airforces long after the conclusion of WW1.

Great work, Pat. I didn't know the DVII was used after the war except for films like "Wings." I do know they were specified in the armistice for surrender to the Allies, as it was much feared.
Pat Speirs replied:
Thanks Douglas, great to hear from you, all good fortune to you for 2017. The DVII was used 'operationally' by several Central European and European countries as they developed their fledgling air arms after WW1, particularly Poland. Quite an aircraft for it's time and with a ceiling of 19,000 ft the pilots were a hardy lot.. .
