Fokker V.4
The Fokker V.4 was a prototype German fighter triplane built for the Austro-Hungarian Imperial and Royal Aviation Troops (Kaiserliche und Königliche Luftfahrtruppen) during World War I. It began development as a biplane, but this was changed to a triplane configuration after Anthony Fokker learned of the positive impression that a British triplane had made on German fighter pilots. It was shipped to Hungary for evaluation in 1917.
