Default RE: Effect of incidence angles?

Don, back in WWI some planes used the wing and stab incidence to effectively give down thrust to the engine. As an example the SE5a has +5 degrees on the wings AND the stab. What this does is give the engine -5 degrees, effectly, when the wings are flying level. Just thought you might like to know.
