Information

This exceptional CORGI Aviation Archive 1:48 scale diecast model honours one of the Great War's most dedicated fighter pilots, Josef Jacobs, and his distinctive Fokker E.III Eindecker.

Ready to display straight from the box, this meticulously crafted collectible captures the essence of early aerial combat with authentic detailing and premium construction.

Perfect for collectors of WWI aviation history and enthusiasts of pioneering fighter aircraft.

Josef Jacobs' journey from teenage aviation enthusiast to legendary fighter ace represents one of the most remarkable careers of the Great War. Learning to fly at just eighteen in 1912, he began the conflict as a motorcycle dispatch rider before his natural aptitude saw him transition to aerial reconnaissance.

His studious nature and exceptional skill caught the attention of senior pilots, earning him a coveted position at the newly formed Fokkerstaffel West, where he became one of the world's first dedicated fighter pilots flying the revolutionary Fokker Eindecker series.

Jacobs spent longer in operational flying over the Western Front trenches than any other German pilot, facing every major Allied ace of the period. His distinguished career saw him eventually command Jagdstaffel 22, where he mastered the iconic Fokker Dr.1 triplane, achieving an unprecedented 30 victories in this aircraft alone, more than any other pilot.

This Eindecker release perfectly complements the earlier Aviation Archive Fokker Dr.1 featuring Jacobs' distinctive black triplane.By war's end, Jacobs had secured 48 confirmed victories, placing him joint quarter among German aces alongside Werner Voss, and earning him the prestigious Pour le Mérite, the legendary 'Blue Max'. His legacy endures as a testament to skill, dedication and the dawn of aerial warfare.
