I'm all for JU-J of 111 sqdn in either desert camo or euro-camo. Spit V model 1941. But it's ... personal ;)
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)
