there is one in there, where the pilot states something like..."i'm not afraid of those 190s any longer" after he got into a fight with one and shot it down.

you read the 3 reports from chuck yeager? a single 109 with 461 rounds of ammo...then 5 109s in one fight with 587 rounds of ammo...4 190s with 889 rounds of ammo.  :O

would be interesting to know who the pilot of the 109 with the "red and black devil's head" was...

Honestly they could clean that site up and make it a little more easy on the eyes to search and navigate.
