Corgi 1/48 Fokker DVII JG1 Hermann Goering Sept 1918 (AA38901)
Postponed until 2010 Hermann G ring is perhaps best known for his military and political
roles during the Second World War but his military career began much earlier. In 1912 he
joined the Prussian Army and served in the infantry until he became ill with rheumatoid
arthritis. While recovering he was persuaded by a friend to transfer to the Air Force and
in 1915 he joined FFA25 as an observer. He later trained as a pilot and scored his first
victory on 16th November 1916. He went on to accumulate a total of 22 victories making him
one of Germany's leading Aces of the War. In July of 1918 he assumed command of Manfred von
Richthofen's JG1, nicknamed 'The Flying Circus' by its allied opponents. His BMW powered
Fokker DVIIF was factory painted in his personal all-white scheme and had a special cut
away on the port side of the cockpit. This was to allow G ring easier access as his joints
were still impeded by the rheumatoid arthritis he suffered from whilst in the army. Limited
