Actually the DH2 was inferior to the Albatross in almost all respects. Far from getting lucky MvR played to the strengths of the aircraft, was over his own lines, had a westerly breeze to help him and Lanoe misjudged the peril until it was too late.
Manfred killed 18-19 year old kids, yes. I kind of thought that was what he was there for!

And dark as the doom we meet.
But stand to your glasses, steady!
And soon shall our pulses rise:
A cup to the dead already-
Hurrah for the next that dies!
