Ronnie,
Good luck with your research and keep us updated on any progress.
Some random musings about my prop database above, not to be taken too seriously.
1. I know it is nowhere large enough to show a true picture, but the ratio of Mercedes engined D.VII aircraft to the BMW engined ones might give a hint of the relative distributions of these engines.
2. The data also shows that Mercedes produced engines of equal power to those of BMW, but in few numbers.
3. The humorous thought occurs that given the source of this data (shot down aircraft) it might also indicate that the Mercedes engined D.VII aircraft were easier to shoot down!
To be serious, does anyone know of a definitive book on the Fokker D.VII ?
With kind regards,
Bob
