With the publication of this DATAFILE (apologies if you were expecting the Short 184, but a last minute North Sea reconnaissance took longer than we thought and it lands next January) our unri­valled coverage of WWI front-line Fokker fighters is now almost complete. The Fokker D.VI never saw extensive wartime service, only a handful of units operating the type, but it did serve well as a trainer, giving fledgling pilots useful experience in handling rotary engine-powered fighters. Although the available D.VI photo record is limited, Peter Grosz supports his narrative with a fine col­lection of photographs and contemporary drawings while Marty Digmayer provides modellers with extremely detailed scale plans for both V 13/1 and production D.VI aeroplanes.
