That's the first time I ever came across the term "sesquiplane", and now I know what to call biplanes with that kind of wing arrangement.

Looking forward to a Biography video on General Robustness, he must have an interesting career!

Hope you do the German Phalz DIII and the Albatros DV in the future,, Very well researched and presented, Keep these Old War Birds coming.

Thank you! Great experiment.

Nice and informative video 👍

Nicely researched! You don't always hear about the bolt-hole elongation problem.

If you ever decide to do a biography on a pilot, I would recommend Thomas Maguire. The only thing people know is there's a Maguire Air Force Base. Beyond that no one knows anything about him.

Oh planes, i Love it

The Alb D-I only had one machine gun. They didn't get 2 until the Alb D-II

My old library had an excellent very old book called "Triplanes and Multi Wings"

The Baron’s disgust cane after a Sopwith Tripe jumped all seven flying circus albatros Shooting two down and sending Manfred in a hard dive and race for home. Anthony Fokker, the one trick pony with his interruptor gear on copycat aircraft stole the wreckage of a Trip for his own version. The DR3 suffered high wing loading on the top wing as dangerous as the Albatros lower, nearly blind forward visibility (The reason d’etre of the Sopwith) Fokker then bribed a look at the first ‘fat wing’ and , after correcting the fuselage win with the D7

Can you do a video on the Austrian d3?

For such a sleek looking aircraft its 109 mph top speed was pretty slow. Its 860 feet per minute climb rate was nothing to write home about either. It would prove inferior to the French SPAD XIII and British SE 5a.
