Dutch,

I agree with Robert, but remember that by mid-1917 the Strutter is well past its prime. As I recall, 70 Squadron flew Strutters and suffered the highest percentage losses in the RFC in one month. To get the perspective of a Strutter pilot, read "An AIrman's Outings" by Alan Bott of 70 Sqn, writing under the pseudonym "Contact." The book is available for download from the Internet Archive.
