Very interesting Henning.

This reminds me of Barker adding an external scoop to the air intake on his Camel and McCudden reducing the dihedral on his SE5a in addition to modifying the engine.

I have often wondered why the Germans did not employ streamlined bracing wires. Perhaps it was due to industrial rather than technical reasons.
