I have asked before but can anyone give me titles of books withe reliable performance data for ww1 aircraft. I have books which seem to mix the data for The pfalz D111 and the D111a. I find it hard to believe that a Pfalz D111a which looks very streamlined (for 1918) is so much slower than a very square looking SE5a. For me the difference in performance does not equate to the loss of 20hp.
