| Message text If the Sopwith Tri-plane had superior performance characteristics over the Sopwith Camel why was the Camel adopted over the Tri-plane? I read somewhere that the Germans were so impressed with the Tri-planes capabilities that they captured a downed Sopwith Tri-plane and used it as a model for the Dr. I. I'm curious why the Allies would use the Camel instead of the Tri-plane. The Tri-plane was introduced first and had better performance capabilities? A head scratcher to me.
