Using a pair of GoPro cameras, Christopher Ford captured remarkable on-board footage of Brian Coughlin’s Fokker E.V/D.VIII as it flew over New York’s Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in 2015.

This Gnome rotary-powered aircraft is the second of three Fokker D.VIII replicas Brian has built over the years. His first is now part of a private collection in California, and his third, the most accurate of the trio complete with lozenge printed fabric and accurate wing streaking, was just recently completed.
