Primarily the superior Climb and Dive rates. It was very maneuverable in a dog fight. It could make a flat, 180-degree turn (no banking) at full speed in a couple of seconds. One second you were chasing a Triplane and then it could snap around and be firing back at you. it could clime very fast and dive on an enemy giving the red baron the advantaged of altitude and the fire power was great also.

What was the Advantage and diasadvantage of the Triplanes?
The Fokker Dr.1 was limited in its airspeed to 103mph. This was due to the additional drag from the 3 wings that were close to each other. Their main advantage was their superior maneuaverablity in a fight. The three short wings allowed the triplanes to be more maneuverable and have a much higher climb rate. Shorter wings allowed it to roll about the fuselage axis much faster. If it wanted to turn, the triplane would roll on its side and pull a tighter circle than the standard biplane. In addition, the Fokker was able to make a 180-degree turn without banking(flat turn) in just a few seconds. When Werner Voss fought his last dog-fight with 7 British SE-5's, the British pilots said they were chasing Voss at one moment and then in the next instant he would be flying directly at them. The Sopwith Triplanewas different from the Fokker in that (a) all 3 wings of the Sopwith were the same chord dimension(narrowest part of wing), (b) the space between the wings was greater (with respect to wing chord), and (c) each wing of the Sopwith had control surface. The disadvantage of the Fokker was its short fuselage and large hoizontal tail during landing. Just as the a/c flared to land, the tail surface would stall out and airflow from the main wings would not flow over the tail. Thus the pilot had no tail control just prior to touchdown. Custermen
Which nation built the best model of planes during world war 1?
Arguably the Germans. Their planes dominated the air war until 1917 with the arrival of the French Spad and the British Sopwith Pup / Camel and the SE5A. Their designs were simply much, much better than the English ones were. Germany built many good fight planes. One of the best built later in the war was the Fokker D-VII. Italy became a leading nation in aviation design and accomplishments after the war. During the war, they produced a scout/fighter plane that some say rivaled the German Fokker that was called Ansaldo SV-5. Really cool airplane.
What was the Wold War 1 airplane 803581 used for?
Without knowing what aircraft you are referring to, it's pretty much impossible to identify the plane and it's role. The number is meaningless. It may be a serial number, but again, without knowing if it was a German, British, French etc airplane and the make (Nieuport, Fokker etc), it's not possible to say.
What was baron Manfred Von Richthofen nickname?
During his lifetime he was called (in Germany) "Der Rote Kampfflieger," which translates literally as "The Red Battle Flyer".However, in English he's much better known as "The Red Baron," and even in Germany he's usually referred to today as "Der Rote Baron."The title he actually used was Freiherr, but Freiherr (literally "Free Lord") and Baron are essentially equivalent (there have at times been technical differences in the two ranks, but they're both commonly translated into English as "Baron") and Freiherren are sometimes addressed as Baron even in Germany).But at the first time the name "Red Baron" was used not until after the war. During the war he was known as Le pétit rouge or Le diable rouge.
