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.
