Your going to have to trust me on this. The a/c speeds are for a/c at 15000. The Brits did extensive testing of their own and captured a/c before and after the war. There used to be a marvelous monthly publication called Aircraft in Profile. For each WW1 a/c they did, they gave the specs for the tests when they knew them. The relative speeds of the a/c are against each other at the altitude of 15000 ft. since that was the most common, other than 1000m. ...
Hi Phil,
I once remeber that the ability of the aircraft is based on the following factor
1. statistic printed on books and reference. 2. quotes and experience from 'real' pilots
Did I miss something when you consider the ability of each individual plane. and also your comparision is based on a specific plane? or is it compared case by case. I means, did u take a standard plane, say se5a and then compare the speed and manuverability of every other plane with it. Or you a compare case by case and then do modification afterwards, (as in historical events, there is few data with a n17 fight with a Simen IV)
