Pfalz E.I

The Pfalz E.I was a German, single-seat monoplane fighter contemporaneous with the Fokker Eindecker, which it closely resembles. In fact both share a common ancestor in the Morane-Saulnier Type H. It saw relatively limited service during the Fokker Scourge, and is generally regarded as not being quite as good as the Fokker, though this is somewhat of a questionable opinion. Like the Fokker, it was quite obsolete by mid-1916, but continued to see service in other arenas, and as a trainer.
