Awesome.  Some links to similar videos about ww2 fighters in the utube bar as well.  I wonder what Douglas Bader meant exactly when he said the 190a was far more maneuverable than his spit5 in that interview.  He sure made it sound like they kicked butt when they were first encountered.

Spit 1-5 vs 190A is going to be a very one sided fight in favor of the 190, also here in AH. Especially in multi-plane engagements.

Nice video. Thanks for sharing!  :aok

He said it outmanoeuvred the spit 5 in every respect, I'm sure he meant positionally, since it had greater speed and ability to dive etc. Let's hope Gaston doesn't watch that part.
