Not really fair to compare 1917 & 1918 aircraft.  How would the Fokker do against a Snipe, Dolphin, SVA 3, Siemens-Schuckert D IV or Phoenix D III?

Udet mentioned the Camel could make a sharper right hand turn. Richthofen test flew a D-7. didn't some fly in 17? besides, weren't there upgraded Camels? that flew in 18?

Well considering the USA (not a typo) nearly mass produced Fokker DVII after the war I think it rated just fine aginst the best late 1918 planes.

It may well have done well against the snipe & Dolphin. Which dolphin? Richthofen got one as I recall. wasn't a good plane.

Cassius Clay was a *****.  Muhammad Ali would have kicked his ass.

My momma slept with Clay after he got shot down behind the lines in DR-1 by a (get this!) beagle sitting on a doghouse.

I didn't believe Momma at first, but then she showed me the pictures in the paper... the dog kicked his ass.
