* *when the ABC Dragonfly worked and produced it's horse power, the Sopwith Dragon (snipe) would do 150 mph.
the Nieuport Nighthawk 151mph, the Siddeley S.R.2 at 6500 ft did 145 mph. *There were a couple of fighters the RAF was looking at with the 300 Hisso, they did: Martinsyde F.4, 145 @S/L, The Vickers 16H did 147 @ S/L. *The Fok. D.VII with the 250 ps BMW would still be at a disadvantage in max air speed. *i have often wondered why they did not put the 300 Hisso in the S.E.5a? It was cranking along at 137mph with 200 hp. I would not be surprized if it would not hit 150 mph at ground level with the 300 Hisso?
