     Actually the turning circle is the same in either direction.
The difference is in the ability of the plane to reach the 
attitude where the maximum rate of turn can be utilized.
     I.E. the Camel and Fokker Triplane rolled faster to the 
left than to the right and therefore the plane would reach the 
maximum rate of turn attitude more quickly.
