One most always take into account that identification of enemy aircraft by opposing pilots, either German or Allied, was tenuous, to say the least. They might be able to recognize Cockades and/or Crosses, but that was about it. To positively identify an enemy aircraft as to a certain type was almost impossible to some of these guys. Heck, many couldn't differentiate between a single-seater and a two-seater, let alone between a biplane and a triplane. IMHO. R.
