Best known for its image as the "Red Baron's" aircraft during WWI as it was flown by Baron Manfred von Richthofen, the leading ace of the war. Unique in its characteristic three-winged design and small rudder surface, it was noted that the DR-I was a very capable "dogfighter" and was a deadly foe with the right pilot at the controls.

The Collings Foundation owns a full size replica of this famous fighter as very few if any original examples exist. The aircraft is fully flyable and can be seen at the Stow, MA location of the Collings Foundation. It can also be seen at limited local events. It is available on a restriced basis for airshows in the New England region.
