The Albatros D.V was a fighter aircraft used by the Imperial German Air Service during World War I. The D.V was the final development of the Albatros D.I family, and the last Albatros fighter to see operational service. The D.V entered service in May 1917 and, like the D.III before it, immediately began experiencing structural failures of the lower wing. Furthermore, the D.V offered very little improvement in performance. This caused considerable dismay among frontline pilots, many of whom...

TheFairey Swordfishwas a torpedo bomber biplane designed by the Fairey Aviation Company and W.S. Hunt used by the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy during the Second World War. Originating in the 1930s, the Swordfish, nicknamed "Stringbag", was an outdated design by the start of the war in 1939, but remained in front-line service until VE Day, outliving several types intended to replace it. It was initially operated primarily as a fleet attack aircraft; during its later years it was used as an...

The Fokker D.VII was a German World War I fighter aircraft. In service, the D.VII quickly proved itself to be a formidable aircraft, it proved to have many important advantages over the Albatros and Pfalz scouts. Unlike the Albatros scouts, the D.VII could dive without any fear of structural failure. It was also noted for its high maneuverability and ability to climb at high angles of attack, its remarkably docile stall, and its reluctance to spin. It could literally "hang on its prop" without...

Considered as Germany's most famous World War I fighter aircraft, the Fokker Dr I is one tiny yet robust aircraft to ever fly. Created as a response to the British Sopwith plane, the Fokker triplane had exceptional rate of climb and maneuverability that left Allied pilots astonished by this diminutive aircraft. However, the aircraft's poor workmanship led to a series of crashes, but this was soon rectified, and the Fokker aircraft continued to soar into the skies. Albeit slow compared to...

The Fokker Dr.I triplane was a World War I fighter aircraft, which saw widespread service in the spring of 1918. It became renowned as the aircraft in which Manfred von Richthofen gained his last 19 victories. During 1917, the Sopwith Triplane began to appear over the Western Front. The Sopwith swiftly proved itself superior to the Albatros fighters which were currently in use by the Luftstreitkr_fte. Fokker-Flugzeugwerke responded by converting an unfinished biplane prototype into the V.4, a...

The Nieuport 28 was a French biplane fighter aircraft flown during World War I. By the middle of 1917 it was obvious that the Nieuport 17 was unable to cope with the latest German fighters, in fact, the Nieuport was already being rapidly replaced in French service with the SPAD S.VII. The Nieuport 28 design was an attempt to adapt the concept of the lightly built, highly maneuverable rotary engined fighter typified by the Nieuport 17 to the more demanding conditions of the times. It had a more...

The Pfalz D-III was a fighter aircraft used by the Imperial German Air Service during the World War I. The D-III was the first major original design from Pfalz Flugzeugwerke. Though generally considered inferior to contemporary Albatros and Fokker fighters, the D-III was widely used from throughout 1917-1918, and then continued to serve as a training aircraft until the end of the war. This handcrafted model is painted in the same paint scheme as the original and is painstakingly built from...

Most definitely it�s the size. It�s BIG. Built with an interesting array of materials. Lightweight frame stretched with fabric. Down to the smallest detail a replica of the original, which was actually only 5.7m long (less than 19 ft.) to begin with. Built by the thousands during the Great War, in many colors and configurations. Our model fits large spaces as well as large personalities (of which there is no shortage in this world!). Pair it with propellers, old maps, a pilot�s desk.

As a mainstay of the Royal Air Force Fighter Command its speed and maneuverability were essential to carrying out its missions across the European and South-East Asian WWII theaters. The Spitfire was beloved by pilots, and in its many variants it served as trainer, interceptor,...

My guess is that this plane will not fly in any plane collector�s home. Both you and I know that model plane collectors are hard to find and even harder to please.

Sure� a chandelier� a mobile�. But a striking object, beautifully made, showing a web-like construction in detail� they�re far and few between and...
