von Morgen Vampyr - "The Butcher Bird"

Role: Scout Served With: Fokker Empire First Flight: 1598 Strengths: Fast, Tough, Deadly Weaknesses: Handling, Reliability Inspiration: Fokker D.VII (1918)

Description:

The Vampyr was Fokker’s secret weapon in the coming war against the Gotha Empire. The Vampyr was stockpiled for the coming conflict, but due to the paranoia of the royal family, only a handful were deployed. Presumably, there are thousands of them sealed away in warehouses somewhere in the gassed-out cities of the former Fokker Kingdoms.

Those that have made it into the hands of pilots are frightening enough. They are often seen with cowls removed to make maintaining their overcompressed engines less of a hassle, as well as to impress onlookers.

The Fokker D.VII of German ace Carl Menckhoff who was credited with 39 Allied aircraft. He was shot down in July 1918 by a SPAD of the US 94th Aero Sqd. To Menckhoff’s chagrin, the pilot was Lt Walter Avery, a rookie on his very first mission.

repost better quality and size

Löwenhardt features the legendary yellow Fokker DVII of Oberleutnant Erich Löwenhardt, Germany's 3rd ranking ace of WW1, behind only Manfred von Richthofen and Ernst Udet. Löwenhardt was an aggressive, skilled fighter whose score grew steadily. At the end of May 1918 he received Germany's highest honor, the Pour le Mérite (Blue Max) after 24 kills. Flying the new Fokker D.VII, he added eight more in June and no fewer than 16 in July. His tally climbed to 53 on August 9.After scoring his 54th victory, he collided with Leutnant Alfred Wenz of Jasta 11. Both men jumped from their planes but Löwenhardt was killed when his parachute failed to open and he fell to his death from 12,000 feet.
