Today we read more about the Fokker Triplane and even the Fokker D-VII than other World War I German fighters, however, the Albatros (in its many variations) was the most widely used. The "V-strutter", as it was known, was subject to wing flutter, and numerous in-flight structural failures resulted in an order that prohibited prolonged dives... hardly enforceable in the heat of combat. Nevertheless, the Albatros was effective, mainly due to numerical superiority over smaller Allied patrols.
