This may be off topic but..spitfire?? Never understood that name. American planes..mustang,lightning,thunderbolt!! What is spitfire? Hot drool? Good plane..goofy name.

I believe this name comes from a British tendancy towards naming fighting vehicles after mother-in-laws and wives.  Don't they have a destroyer actually called the "BattleAx"?

I've been playing a little of rowan's Battle of Britian game and I'm pretty confident we can duplicate most of the Spit I experience in AH with a little effort.  Since BoB is a british game, it must have accurate spitfire modelling so we'll just make that assumption before we start.
First step will be to make sure your AH framerate never exceeds 20 fps at any time.  If you have the bandwidth, downloading porn in the background is a safe bet, 56k users you will need to be more creative on this one.
Take a Spit V with 75% fuel load.  While still on the runway empty your cannons.  You won't need those.  Plan a course so you don't encounter enemies until you cross a body of water.
Now take off but never run above 2/3rds throttle (for wep) for cruising speed about 1/2 should do it.
As you get closer to your destination inform the other team you are flying a spit I and ask that only early model 109s running at 2/3rds throttle come up to fight you.
Pay close attention to the G meter.  Make sure to hit the E key on the keyboard whenever it goes negative.  This is cruicial to the Spit I experience so make sure not to forget in a heated dogfight.
Finally, when you do have that evil 109 lined up in your sites, be sure to shake the stick around furiously to simulate the difficulty of aiming in BoB before opening fire.
That should do it.  It will be just like BoB but in aces high.  Happy Spit I flying!

I think it was Hitler's foolishness in attacking Russia that cost Germany the war more than any other factor. There were nearly as many casualties on the "Eastern Front" as the rest of the fronts combined.

Check out the numbers:

"FYI USAAC (US Army Air Corps) policy at the beginning of the war was to not give aircraft names, All the names we know and love were supplied by the British for the lend-lease aircraft they flew"

Nope..the Thunderbolt was named by the president of Republic Aviation.

Eh?

Britain not only initiated WW2 by declaring war on Germany, but fought for 2 years before the USSR got involved.

So if anyone fought the 'most' against the Germans, it was probably the British.
