Oberleutnant Erich Lowenhardt was the third highest-ranking German ace of WWI, amassing a total of 54 victories before his death on August 10, 1918 during a battle with RAF SE5As. After downing one SE5a, Lowenhardt collided with another Fokker D.VII flown by Ltn. Alfred Wenz of Jasta 11. While both pilots bailed out of their aircraft only Alfred Wenz survived, Lowenhardt’s parachute failing to open.

The Fokker D.VII was a German World War I fighter aircraft. Approximately 1,700 D.VII aircraft were produced in the summer and autumn of 1918. In service, the D.VII quickly proved itself to be a formidable aircraft. The armistice, which ended the war, required Germany to surrender all D.VIIs to the Allies at the conclusion of hostilities. Surviving aircraft saw continued widespread service with many other countries in the years after the war.
