I don't beleive the people I am arguing with are either trying very hard or don't know very much about what they speak.



How about you speaking of turnrate of 109 when you don't know what was the wingload?

Is Germany really just 26 miles from England?? So much for the myth of German engineering.

And those are only the 100+ aces. Guess what plane most of them flew? :D

The 109 shot down more than twice as many planes as any other combat aircraft in history. More aces flew the 109 than all allied fighters combined. The 109 was in service for more than 30 years and with at least 8 nations.

Lets face it, the F4U was a mediocre fighter only suited for slaughtering slow defenseless jap planes. In the ETO it would just have been another target for the 109s and 190s.

The 109 is the most prolific and successful fighter in history.

Only one a/c got shot down more than the 109, that was the Il-2.::aok At the time of Germany's unconditional surrender there was ~1000 left out of the 33,000 or so produced.

Weren't you the one that said the 109 could out perform the F4U in every category?


No, please quote where you think I said that.

Other than climb what could the G do better than the F4U-1?


See Hohun's and Kurfurst's posts.

Before I crush you I want to hear you say something else that is completely wrong.


You keep saying 'I am wrong' but you have yet to demonstrate even one point I made that is 'wrong'.

OTOH every claim you made is wrong. From your very first post until now. Even your replies to me in your post above are 'wrong'.

Your to much of a mental midget to crush a grape and I am not to worried about what else you think you can 'crush'.

As an obvious example:

Erich Hartmann, the world's leading ace didn't start flying until October 1942, and scored his first of 352 kills on November 5 1942. He flew 109s exclusively.

Your point?

If i remember the Israeli Defence Force used the 109s in 1948.  They hated the 109 (other than the fact that it was designed for a massive Eurasia conquest and genocides of "undesirables") flight qualities.  The Israelis got used to it and its a success. They even shot down some Egyptian SPIT 5s:D

Avia S-199 in Czechoslovakia using Jumo engines.

The last 109s built (Spanish) used Rolls-Royce Merlin engines.:aok

Several 109s flew in Spain until 1965.

Flying on the Russian Front was easier than in the West. All one has to do is look at the LW's aces claims against Western a/c.

Thats 1 and now post the rest.
My point is most of those pilots racked up those kills because they flew from the spanish civil war to the end of the war in  
europe. That mean they were shooting down mostly obsolete aircraft. Probably biplanes.

Also you made some comment about naval crew pushing off F4Us
off the sides their carriers. While the mighty 109 saw service untill the end of the war.
Lemme fill you in on the soccer war.  The f4u and the p51 were in use .  This was in 1969. Again i ask, when was the last combat flight of a 109.

Bruno, Calais was situated in the lands of the Third Reich for several years so could be considered part of Germany.
