It's always pleasant debating about technical details and flight reports of famous aircrafts. But when wondering if this or that scout was really worse than others and what it could have made having better opportunities, I think intervenes that famous "motto":<<One fact weighs much more than a mountain of words>>.

I think Pfalz D III was exactly what it was known for: a fair plane. If it would have been better, it wouldn't have serviced only six months in first line and author of book "The Pfalz aces" would have found someone to mention.

On the contrary, Albatros D series prolonged service, number of victories got on it, not to mention the famous allied request to seize Fokker D VII, speak theirself to state a clear superiority.

Regards,
