Why would they put the cockpit at the back of the plane? Visibility would be bad. :p

On the contrary; The Spitfire has money enough for 20mm and change left over for 0.50's.

German iron rules all? In what world would that be true?

you get quoted twice.  the P-80 flew operationally over Italy, but did not encounter E/A. it was a good 60 MPH faster than the Me 262, although less heavily armed
