Default Albatros Questions

My good friend and I are having a debate over the German Albatros
fighter in WW1 and I need some help. Can anyone answer the following:

1) In 1918 which fighters formed the majority of the Imperial German
Flying Corps- Albatros or Fokkers? My friend says Fokkers, I disagree.

2) Even though the latter Albatros D.Va suffered structural problems
(V-strut) weren't they still deadly fighters in the hands of aces?

3) Did Goering fly an Albatros during the war? I say yes, my friend
disagrees.

4) How many kills did Richtofen have when flew the Albatros?

5) Finally, wasn't it the Albatros that bore the brunt of aerial
combat during the Germans Offensive of 1918 and NOT the Fokker D.VII?
I say yes, my friend disagrees.

It seems we need an expert on German aircraft of WW1! Anyone up to the
challenge?
