The main Aircraft of Werner Voss

This Video shows the two main aircraft used by Werner Voss, his Albatros D III and the last aircraft he used in combat the 3rd prototype Fokker Triplane FI 103/17.

These Roden 1/32nd scale model aircraft were built by my friend
Brad Cancian, a highly respected and award winning modeller.

The Model Celler 1/32nd scale Werner Voss figure was painted for me by Mr Stephen Lawson http://www.wwi-n-plastic.com/

You can find the build progress on these models at the forum, just search out either Brads name or Werner Voss or Roden Albatros/Fokker

The decal set for the Roden Albatros were from Spada Decals

I am very fortunate to be able to look at these beautifully built models and just wanted to share some of the experience with others

Please enjoy the video.

Excrutiating detail. You must have spent a lot of time making those models. It is nice to see that Voss' name is not forgotten. You should mention in your brief history that it took 6 or more of Britains top aces to bring him down, and only after he may have ran out of fuel and ammo. Voss was a remarkable pilot and a glorious man.

It was a 1 vs 6.He sent 2 back, they were shot up beyond repair. Plus ALL of the others had battle damage...

Interesting channel

@WesMetal13 everyone forgets he had help for a bit....German Ace Menckhoff enter the contest to aid Voss and ably assisted till Rhys-Davids shot him down(he did survived the crash however) twisting and turning but taking hits on his right side from Hoidge while in a head on aganist McCudden one bullet hit and went thru his lungs..probably then in shock he missed seeing Rhys-Davids come in low and behind emptying 2 drums to the underside of triplane before it went down..

IIRC it was actually 11 British a/c involved. He engaged two and shot them down just before McCuddens flight of 6 engaged him and near the end 3 more Se5's entered the fray. He put rounds into every British a/c involvoed. The F.1, being a prototype, was unknown to the Brits and it's extremely agile characteristics were quite a shock to the Brits but Voss must have know the inevitable result since he could never outrun the Se5's to disengage from combat.
