Which should be faster? SPAD13 or Fokker DVIIF?

Recommended Posts

As the title says - I'm not sure on specs, speed at low attitude and so on. I don't want to say what happend either, but I want to verify yesterday's FE2 events with real data.

 

So, which if these two birds should be faster?

Flat out, side by side, the SPAD by about 15 mph.

Okay, so maybe the fact that low down the SPAD was running away from me is correct. Didn't get to try at altitude, but was (mistakenly?) thinking the F Variant of the Fokker had one of the fastest engines in WW1...

The info I found lists the SPAD @ 138 mph at 6500ft. Top speed for the DVII was 124 mph with the BMW engine. No altitude was given. The DVII was much more maneuverable at all altitudes, especially high altitudes, but I don't think it was faster than the SPAD.
