I think I've already tipped my hat into the ring with The Camel (mostly 'cos of Biggles), but the SE5a was a better 'plane. 

I'm also enamoured of the big WWI bombers like the Gotha and the O400.

I'm rather fond of the Russian "Ilya Muromets" WW1 heavy bomber. It's such a delightfully inelegant craft.

For WWI I'd go with the SE5A, and Brisfit.
