Unfortunately, this book is rare nowadays and only the likes of Martín
Afflitto have this kind of literature.

I don't know about it, only having the Datafile Special, the "regular"
datafile from long ago, the Henri Hegener Harleyford title, the Squadron/in
action booklet, and the similar Fokker Dr.I and D.VII by Nowarra. Perhaps I
have several more refences in other books on my library. Besides, you can
find useful information about what may have looked by perusing the section
on the type on the Memorial Flight Association website, as in the website of
those Germans who make reproductions and frequently post in The Aerodrome.
Here are some Fokker Dr.I books I don't have:
- "That Filthy Fokker" by Charles Duclos
- "Fokker and his Mother" by Prof. Dipl. Ing. Karl Von Postit
- "Fokkerin' all the way"  by Gustavus Van Kakerlaak
- "I'm a joker, I'm  a smoker, I'm a midnight Fokker" by Esteban Molinero
