[About the actual machine]
――This aircraft was manufactured by Focker of the German Empire as a three-wing fighter in 1917, and 320 aircraft were produced between 1917 and 1918.
――This aircraft is known as Manfred von Richthofen's favorite aircraft, which was called [Red Baron] by the shooting down king.
――As for the structure of the aircraft, a board was passed between the main landing gears to make it the fourth wing, which seems to be close to a four-leaf aircraft.
-Since the operation system had an engine auxiliary throttle and a shooting button of the machine gun attached to the control stick, it was possible to operate with the right hand, but the visibility was poor due to the thick three wings and the tail wing generated from the main wing when raising the nose. It seems that there were many accidents at the time of landing because it was easy to get involved.
--The armament is equipped with two MG08 heavy machine guns (7.92mm Spandau machine gun) that synchronize with the rotation of the propeller on the nose.
