I originally posted this thread because I was curious to find out why Jasta 52 was reasonably succesful with the Pfalz D.IIIa and if tactics played a part in determining success in jastas with a complement of Pfalz and Albatros, as distinct from jastas with a single type of aircraft.
From what I've picked up so far, it would seem that the Pfalz wasn't at a disadvantage when appropriate tactics were adopted - examples were given by Russ and JG. These tactics could be applicable if a jasta contained both Pfalz and Albatros, although it would seem that Billik of Jasta 52 was the major driving force of his jasta's success, rather than the mix of aircraft he had under his command. However I'm still not sure where the agility of the Alabtros (and the supposed lack of agility of the Pfalz) fits into the scheme of things for the tactics advocated in earlier posts.
It does appear that a mix of aircraft wasn't all that important.
Does this sound feasible, or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Cheers,
A
