Why did the red baron like the Fokker Triplane so much?
It was very maneuverable in a dog fight. It could make a flat, 180-degree turn (no banking) at full speed in a couple of seconds. One second you were chasing a Triplane and then it could snap around and be firing back at you. it could clime very fast and dive on an enemy giving the red baron the advantaged of altitude and the fire power was great also.
