Photo Comment

With this fighter, the most famous British type of WW1, eleven German planes were downed by two different pilots. After an emergency landing at the front, it was tested by the Germans and made part of Göring's Deutsche Luftfahrtsammlung. The collection was moved to Poland after coming under air attack in Berlin in 1943.
