    Default Fokker D.VII internals video

    I think this is an excellent video explaining the construction and operation of a Fokker D.VII: https://youtu.be/hgG4kGW_G9Y?si=QFRY-hyxWuWTIK1V.

    It shows and explains everything very clearly, from construction details to control surface operation to the interrupter. I learned a lot of little details, such as there was an internal radiator baffle that the pilot could control.

    If you watch it, what did you learn?

    Good to see a metal panel between the petrol tank and the pilot
