Did anyone else score higher in this
plane? Udet maybe? Udet wasn't a triplane kinda guy - I have quite a few photos of him, none with a tripe. I don't doubt he may have flown one, but he was a speed freak with a touch of finesse -- I can't see him trading in his faster machine for a slug like the DR 1. That postwar trick of his, the handkerchief wingtip pickup off the ground, was just amazing. Most people I know that were around back then remain convinced he was the best pilot of all. v/r Gordon ====(A+C==== USN SAR Aircrew "Got anything on your radar, SENSO?"
