The Service Ceiling of the Fokker E.III was given as 11,500 meters (37,700 feet plus). This figure seemed very wrong indeed since such altitudes weren't commonplace until the 1950s. A 1914 aircraft without oxygen for the pilot and with a 99 hp engine couldn't get anywhere near that. However, the article specifically on the E.III (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fokker_E.III) gives is service ceiling as a much more reasonable 12,000 feet (3,500 meters) approx. It appears as if in the Eindecker article, the service ceiling in feet was entered into the meters line by mistake so its been corrected. Unfortunately, this erroneous figure has now been copied all over the web. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.232.97.226 (talk) 13:09, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
