Fokker DR.1 1 Introduced over the western front in August 1917, the Fokker Triplane soon became the favorite plane of Germany's greatest WWI ace, Baron Manfred von Richthofen
from the archives... this is at the Bangalore Aero Show at Yelahanka Air Force Base.
I'm not sure what aircraft this is...
As the sun breaks above the ground
An old man stands on the hill
As the ground warms to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still
His eyes are ablaze
See the madman in his gaze
Fly on your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your wings like an eagle
Fly and touch the sun

The American Boeing P-26 Peashooter, was the first all-metal production fighter aircraft and the first pursuit monoplane used by the United States Army Air Corps.
The prototype first flew in 1932, and the plane was obsolete by 1935, when the prototype of the Messerschmitt BF-109 first flew. But the Corps flew this fighter as late as 1941 in the Philippines because better fighters in large numbers were not available.
