Highly detailed Corgi Aviation Corgi Luftwaffe Fokker DVII 1/48 Erich Lowenhardt Scale 1:48 CG38905 One of the finest fighters of the First World War, the Fokker DVII was introduced in 1918 and immediately proved its superiority over the Allied fighters of the period. Able to literally hang on its propeller without stalling, it could engage Allied aircraft from below, where they were most vulnerable. Oblt Erich Lowenhardt was the third highest ranked German ace of the First World War, amassing a total of 54 kills before his death in August 1918 during a battle with RAF SE5As. After dispatching one SE5A, Lowenhardt collided with another Fokker DVII flown by Alfred Wenz. While both pilots bailed out of their damaged machines only Alfred Wenz survived, Lowenhardt's parachute failing to open.
