You guys and your american planes!
What was wrong with the Spitfire, anyway?
As for the Battle of Britain kill ratio being equal, if it was the Luftwaffe would have won easily. As I recall, wasn’t it more like 3:1 in favour of the Brits in the end?
I suppose the British pilots bailing out over home-soil helped though…
When push comes to shove, if you’ll forgive the expression, it was the relative production scales that most affected fighter supremacy. The US were just able to produce far, far more planes and pilots than anyone else.
I reckon.
