Description
Clear view of the machine gun mounted on a Fokker D1-Triplane aircraft. This aircraft was made famous by Manfred van Richthofen, aka the “Red Baron” during WW 1. The machine gun was an LMG 08/15 and had a mechanism to allow to fire the gun synchronized with the speed of the rotating propeller blades, so the blades wouldn’t be shot to pieces by the aircraft’s own machine gun.
