The Fokker DR.I Triplane may be among the most famous of WW I airplanes but there were other triplanes as well. This experimental Fokker V.7S was powered by the equally experimental Siemens-Halske Sh.III counter-rotary engine, an 11 cylinder monster made for rapid climbing. This airplane in combination with this high torque engine swinging a meaty four- bladed propeller could outclimb almost anything in its day. The painting depicts comparison tests over Germany in January 1918 with a standard DR.I in the background starting to sputter and drop away while the V.7S is still going.
