Wow love that first shot, looking over the guns :clap
Both shots are excellent, but I'm impressed with the layout of the panels and the guns on the plane :D

Thanks for sharing :thumb .... Skippy

Great shots.....Thanks for sharing.

The restoration job is excellent...It looks like the guns shoot thru the prop.
I always wounderd how they did that without shooting off their own prop.

I always wounderd how they did that without shooting off their own prop.Here you go (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Interrupter_gear_diagram_en.png) and here's the article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_in_World_War_I#Problems_mounting_machine_ guns).

Nice shots - cockpits have gotten a bit more busy in 77 years, that's for sure!

A little update
I posted that it was built in the 30's
I was wrong the Fokker Triplane DR1 was built in 1917 and the one seen here is a replica
so I apologize for any mis-information, when I posted this I was not aware that it was a replica
