 Designed by Lou Stolp & Marshall White, though modeled after World War I fighters, the Der Jager is not a replica. Its builder, Marshall White, patterned the wing shape after that of the German Albatross, the tail assembly after that of the Fokker D-7 and the gear after that of the Focke-Wulf “Strosser". The frameworks of the fuselage and the tail group are of welded steel tube, fabric covered. The wings are wood with no flaps. The pro-totype was fitted with a 115-hp Lycoming, but the airplane is so light that anything down to the Volkswagen 1600 engine will fly it nicely.
