Dr.1 Pup engagements
The question was posed while I was building my Pup if they and the Fokkers ever engaged. IIRC some of us figured it never happened, Pups being near obsolete by the arrival of the Dr.1. I don't know how it got missed, but was just reading Greg Van Wyngarden's 'Richthofen's Circus', Jagdgeschwader Nr 1.
To give due recognition, he wrote regarding reports that 2 days after their official arrival Sept 1st, a Triplane and Albatri of Jasta 11 engaged Pup's of 46 sqdn's 'A' flight. While Mihnicke got one with an Alb, MvR, flying 102/17 (technically an F.1) got the second, flown by Lt. A. F. Bird. (p.50-51). 10 days later, Voss in 103/17 shot up several Pups without actually destroying any, although Lowenhardt did get credit for one with his Alb. (p.52-53). Does anyone have other reports of Pup units tangling with production Fokkers? If any, I would guess it would have been lesser Jastas/non JG1?
