I found this on the web, it's new to me, mabey others have already posted about it. If you go to www.history.com And enter dogfights in the search box there are all kings of short videos on dogfights. There are 2 on WWI and a whole lot on WWII. I think these are from the History Channel's series Dogfight. The WWI planes are the Fokker Dr.I(mislabeled Fokker DVII) and the SPAD 13. Thought I would pass this along.

Hi Greg.
I had not seen these clips. Quite an interesting little sequence.

Thanks for the reference Greg. I enjoyed the clips; very timely too. This weekend I'm using a SPAD XIII as one of a mixed team of Balloon Busters. I have equipped the SPAD with incendiary ammo, and with its excellent speed I suspect it will do very well even against AA MGs, AA Guns, and a covering flight of Fokker D. VII s. I think it can "shoot and scoot" better than all but the SE 5a.
