Pfalz D.III - WW1 German fighter 1917

This World War One (1917) Pfalz D.III fighter was one of several replica aircraft built in 1966 for the motion picture 'The Blue Max'. The aircraft is seen here during its display at the Classic Fighters 2005 airshow held at Omaka Aerodrome, Blenheim, New Zealand.

The aircraft is seen here in the spurious 7-lozenge colour scheme as it was seen i the motion picture (during the war the lozenge colour scheme used by the Germans had only five different colours).
