Yeah, I am of course thinking of the kind of dogfighters similar to the picture I posted earlier .. although I'll repost it here.
I think this is the kind of fokker flown at some point by the Red Baron himself. I was not really sure if these commonly carried bombs or not, but if you say they did, I'll take your word for it. Aside from bombing, they could of course have strategic importance as scouts as well so I'm not saying whatever they did would be
completely pointless .. just maybe a bit compared to some of the other stuff that went on. Like generally, how much of the war was won and lost in the air by these dogfighter planes?
