Pfalz D.XII
$5.00Price
Orders for the Pfalz D.XII were placed in the summer of 1918 as insurance against shortages of the hugely-popular Fokker D.VII. When it first arrived at the front, pilots viewed it as inferior, but in combat it was the D.VII's equal and faster in a dive. With ground crews it was less popular since it was at two-bay conventionally-rigged aeroplane requiring more fine-tuning than a D.VII
Pilots found the D.XII strong and just as fast as the Fokker D.VII (better in a dive), but "in turns and combat it could not compare with the Fokkers".
