Its pretty hard to imagine that any pilot in ww1 would not stall or spin a plane many times in dogfights, given their comparatively high stall speeds (to their top and fighting speeds), often sensitive controls, and propensity of these planes to stall and spin anyway.
It is not only easy to imagine, it was a fact that for the first two years of WWI
any spin was going to result in death for the pilot. The Airco DH2 earning the nickname of "whirling incenerator" because it had a nasty habit of entering spins and catching fire (usually mutually exclusive events), which lead to a dead pilot.
Poor seat belts, no parachutes, and it wasn't until into the war that anyone figured out how to get out of a spin - let alone want to
intentionally want to spin a fragile aircraft as they were flying.
You'll have to provide reference where spins were "commonly used" in WWI dogfights.
