    Wow love that first shot, looking over the guns clap.gif
    Both shots are excellent, but I'm impressed with the layout of the panels and the guns on the plane :D

    Great shots.....Thanks for sharing.

    The restoration job is excellent...It looks like the guns shoot thru the prop.
    I always wounderd how they did that without shooting off their own prop.

    Here you go and here's the article.

    Nice shots - cockpits have gotten a bit more busy in 77 years, that's for sure!

    A little update
    I posted that it was built in the 30's
    I was wrong the Fokker Triplane DR1 was built in 1917 and the one seen here is a replica
    so I apologize for any mis-information, when I posted this I was not aware that it was a replica
