About how much did World War 1 airplanes cost?

Question

Just an estimation.

Answer 1

Based on some original delivery receipts during the war (1918), it would appear that the average cost in those days of typical allied fighter aircraft was between $5,000 and $8,000 each.

An original shipping record of the LWF5 aircraft showed 25 complete aircraft at $8,600 each.  It lists individual engines at $760.  See link below.

Answer 2

Snapple, the average was about $5000.
