Some pilots really liked it - one guy (can't remember his name - Canadian I think) took on 60 german planes with a Dolphin - won a VC.


Actually, that sounds more like William Barker, who was flying a Snipe at the time.

The Dolphin was an important plane, best known for work at high altitude. You'll find most of them flew without the 2 Lewis guns, however.

And if you follow the CanvasEagles link given earlier, you can find a Dolphin in the extra planes there, altho I agree with some of the other requests that I'd rather see more of the early airplanes-- Canvas Eagles and the Advanced Blue Max system divided into "late war" and "early war" maneuver charts to accommodate the slower early airplanes and give them more performance differences against each other. A few planes have both an early and late war chart, like our unfortunate N17, which is easy meat here but a swinging stud in the early war comparisons.

I suspect you're thinking of William Barker, who took on 60 German planes. However, he was flying a Snipe. (There is a nice write up on that battle at the Aerodrome site http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/canada/barker.html
