The German Fokker D.VII is frequently cited as one of the best fighter aircraft of the First World War. Its story of inception is what makes it a supremely interesting subject. During the latter half of 1917, the Allies regained air superiority over the Western Front with the S.E. 5 and the SPAD fighters. To counter this, the German government invited aircraft manufacturers to submit prototype single-seat fighter designs for evaluation in Berlin in January 1918. The design with the best overall performance would be awarded a production contract. The Fokker D VII was the winner, earning an initial contract for 400 units. The Fokker D.VII was easy to maneuver, strong, and agile, and as a result, was highly respectable by the enemy. The D.VII could "hang on its propeller" and attack upwards while other aircraft would stall and fly away. The performance of the Fokker D.VII was superior to any other aircraft used by the triumphant power. Germany had to surrender all the airplanes after the end of World War I, and a total of 3,300 D.VIIs were produced, with over 700 in service after the war ended.
