Who will end up with a victory in a dogfight

Why would they dogfight them? WW1 planes 120mph, no armor, no self sealing tanks, .30 cal. guns. And with 100 of them there'd be no room for dogfights. They could just strafe them. Or let them run out of fuel, WW1 aircraft had very short endurances compared to WW2 aircraft.
There is a video on youtube somewhere showing a Spitfire flying in formation with a Sopwith Pup (IIRC). The Pup was flat out, and the Spitfire was just above minimum (stalling) speed....
For some strange reason after reading this thread I feel like eating jelly beans........

The need for adventure is intrinsic in human beings. We need it. If we don't have it we will not develop as a species and will die.
I don't get the point of half of these threads.

There are near equivalents in WWII. Look at what happened to the RAs Cr32s verus the RAFs few Hurricanes over malta. They did not do well. Conversely, the CR 42 did quite well.
And CR32s were vastly superior to their WWI cousins.
This is a silly subject, Sorry I just dont get it to be honest
Fr President Clemenceau’s speech to the AIF 7th July 1918: “ we expected a great deal of (Australians)… We knew that you would fight a real fight, but we did not know that from the beginning you would astonish the whole continent. I shall go back and say to my countrymen “I have seen the Australians, I have looked in their faces …I know that they will fight alongside of us again until the cause for which we are all fighting is safe for us and for our children”.
This is thread is pointless and closed...
