Desbarats claimed that the Tripe only had a firm upper hand on the Alb when fighting at 10k feet or higher... perhaps he was biased since he was shot down by three of them while on a contact patrol. Took one of them head-on while another came up from behind and shot out his instrument panel and controls. Dumped on his head in a shell hole. Woke up later covered with mud in a German trench. He swore to his dying day that he must have gotten the Alb he attacked frontally... had it dead in his sights.
