Bruh! There are Tiger Moth's and Bu 131's in this video. Cuh-ban for cabane. Also, half the "Pups" shown are actually Camels or 1 1/2's (and one SPAD, huh?). :cry Garbage.
Having said that, the Pup had its period of dominance from March to August of 1916. The Halberstadt D.II was a great airplane, but was outclassed in many ways by the Pup. It was a better match against the Nieuport 11. Once the Albatros D.II and D.III hit the front, it took over for a long time.

Oh dear. I anticipate you'll be following up on every Dark Skies video. Not that it really bothers me. :cheers: :)

I think most all of us get your 'trash' opinion. :)
Well, that's a relief. I was starting to think this community was just in need of rubbish bulldozed in its face and you were the bulldozer. Glad I am wrong! :cheers:

On a side note, lucky me, I've somehow attracted the unending attention of the 'Sheldon Cooper' of professional historians. :)
