In terms of firepower,the Cessna is definitely outclassed as it is unarmed from the start,while the WW1 fighter would definitely be armed.But the Cessna is way better in terms of ruggedness since it is build with metals that will allow the Cessna to take another hit or two before going down,and it is much easier and less complicated to fly than the WW1 fighter,but less manuvereable since it's not designed for military application,not even dogfighting.Pilot skill is also accounted for decisive factor in determining the winner and the loser
