@Spartiatai300 Nope. Not even close.

@lemonite1 D.VII was far superior to the Dr.1

@gmccord1970 Se5a was better than the DR.1 also. DR.1 was pretty average, really.
-
the red barron only claimed 19 to 20 victories in the tri plane..as he did the most in other bi planes

one of the greatest ducht planes

Despite they are even more agile than modern fighter planes still triplane and biplane design has very very serious problem.
It limits maximum speed a lot.
In WW2 fighters won against biplanes easily by using much better speeds of monoplane.

Dr. 1 was a rip of a captured Sopwith Tripe, from what I read, but the rip came out looking much more beautiful from what it was copied from. BTW, in a dogfight you don't give a rat's ass about a stable aircraft that always needs controling, because you never want to fly straight and level. Fly straight and level for any period of time, and you are dead. A motorcycle you have to control it constantly as well, but this also gives instant flickablity, and keeps you integrated with machine
Who says this plane isn't beautiful?

Even though it was a great plane, not many pilots could fly it that well. That thing was terribly hard to fly.
