When Anthony Fokker introduced his Eindecker with its practical machine gun synchronisation system, allowing him to fire a machine gun on the line of flight between the rotating propeller blades, the true fighter aircraft was born.
Throughout most of the First World War, German fighter pilots fought with courage, clever tactics, and technically impressive aircraft against a numerically superior enemy.
