The company specialized in the design and provision of plans for homebuilt aircraft, particularly replica aircraft of the First World War.[1][2][3][4][5] Redfern's plans were adapted from the original aircraft drawings with assistance from Peter M. Bowers and Reinhold Platz, one of the original design team for the Fokker DR1. Platz continued to collaborate with Redfern until the former's death in 1966.[2][3][4][5][6] Redfern built his first aircraft, a Knight Twister in 1949 and completed 15 aircraft before his death in 1996, including five Redfern Fokker Dr.1 models. One of his DR.1s is in the AirVenture Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Another Redfern-constructed aircraft, a Fokker D.VI, is in a Pittsburgh museum.[6][7][8] After Redfern's death in 1996 his family continued to supply plans for sometime, although they appeared to be no longer available in 2014.[6] Aircraft
