Germays greatest exponent of the Fokker Dr1 Triplane, Leutnant Josef
Jacobs is depicted chatting with colleagues of Jasta 7 before a sortie
in the spring of 1918. His black Triplane became well known to allied
pilots, not least because of his formidable kill rate. By the end of
the war, still aged just 24, Jacobs had claimed 48 enemy aircraft
destroyed. The unusual practice of applying the black cross to the
upper sides of the lower wings was to counter friendly fire from other
German aircraft who frequently mistook the Dr1 for a Sopwith Triplane.
