Imagine the roaring heartbeat of a 160 h.p. Mercedes engine above the scarred fields of Europe, the air thick with the smoke of conflict, and the proud silhouette of the Fokker D.VII slicing through the grey skies. This evocative print brings you right into the cockpit of one of the First World War’s most celebrated fighter planes, a machine that turned the tide for German aviators and etched its name into history. Captured soaring above a vast, autumn-tinted forest, this image places you alongside those daring pilots who lived, fought, and dreamed among the clouds.

This highly collectible 1971 print, published by Flight London (SE1), presents the iconic Fokker D.VII as it was meticulously restored and flown in the USA. The aircraft is faithfully painted in the authentic colours of Willi Gabriel, a distinguished pilot from Richthofen’s legendary Jasta 11 squadron. The reverse of the print offers a detailed historical narrative, tracing the Fokker D.VII’s pivotal role during the late stages of WWI, from its design competition triumph to its fearsome dominance in dogfights. Measuring approximately 10¼ x 8 inches and preserved in good condition, this piece bridges the gap between history and the present, inviting admiration and study alike.

Owning a piece like this is more than adding to a collection — it is about preserving a tangible thread to our shared heritage. In every detail, this print echoes the bravery, innovation, and human stories that shaped the world we live in. Whether you are a seasoned aviation collector, a historian, or someone deeply moved by the echoes of the past, this print is a reminder of the importance of remembering, respecting, and honouring history.
