did anybody see this show?

Recommended Posts

It was on the Military channel(the old Discovery Wings)and they compared the camel and DR1.Great and very informitive show.Compared the strenghts and weaknesses of each plane..the Camel came out on top.The DR1 was actually the German answer to the Sopwith Tripe..BUT what the Germans didn't realise is the Tripe had the same amount of wing area as the Sopwith PUP,just spread out over 3 wings,this gave better visibilty to the pilots.The DR1 had 3 wings,the same size as normal wings and this actually cut a pilots visibility.It was slower than the Camel also.So they rated it as the better of the 2.

Yes, I saw most of it, didn't get to see the end(last 15 min) so I didn't find out what happened. I just lliked it because it had WW1 video and planes.
