And I remember reading that the the Camel's rotary engine generated massive torque so that it could turn right (or was it left) faster than any other airplane, so much so that it waqs quicker to turn 270 degrees to the right than 90 degrees to the left.
    Didn't Richthofen fly a Fokker DR1 Triplane?
