The problem is the term "turn fighting" and that leads to a lot of confusion and whines on Channel 200. Quite a few take its literal meaning and think it's nothing but two planes in a Luftberry trying to kill each other and that's what gets them killed because they are quite literally thinking in 2D when they should think in 3D.
Because they perceive the fight in 2D, they don't realize that a plane that is the less capable turn fighter in the fight, can use other means to gain an angle to cut inside of the better turning plane. Planes like the FW190 series and P-38s are good at this. FW190's have a great roll rate and as such can use it to cut inside of the enemy's turn for an angle and shot. The P-38 can use vertical maneuvers like High and Low Yo-Yo's and at higher speeds its roll rate to do the same.
So that's how Larry shot you down. He didn't didn't turn with you, he was able to maneuver his plane in such a way that allowed him to cut inside of your turn for an angle and the kill.
Instead of thinking "Turn Fighting", think "Angles Fighting" instead.
