And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Fokker DR1 was actually a Quad wing plane. The Fokker DR7 was a Tri plane. The foil between the landing wheels was designed to act like a wing per Anthony Fokker himself.
Fokker DR1 Triplane. Probably a replica in New Zealand which is very liberal regarding replica warbirds.
