Indeed. Loads of fantastic warbirds on all sides throughout the war. I don't think Germany were anywhere near gaining the control they needed to invade Britain.

Good fall back position when you've been wrong on everything you've said.

You didn't even make that point. The opening post made a claim about the Spitfire being unrivalled, I disputed it, and you could have said 'sure, it's just marketing, I expect other aircraft will get credit in the film' etc, but instead you chose to take the piss and act like I was calling them...

Neither do I. I was referring the the Spit's abilities compared to aircraft from other countries though.

Thanks. A lot of Brits mistakenly think the Spitfire just waltzed around cleaning up the skies. It actually does a discredit to those that risked their lives flying them. All I did was point out that it's incorrect to say it was unrivalled. No big deal, people can accept that, and go back to...

Well the quote didn't mention the Battle of Britain, so I assume it meant the war years in general. It said it includes archive footage, and I imagine that's not just from 1940, but from the whole war, and the Spitfire was busy throughout the war, not just in the BoB. I love the Spitfire, I've...

No, the post read "archive footage from the tumultuous days of the 1940s when her power in the skies was unrivalled." As above, no, it isn't. The 1940 Spitfire would cut out with negative g-force, due to it's carburettor, while the bf-109E was fuel injected and had no such trouble. The Spit...

That might be overdoing it a little. That's simply not true. There were several good fighters in the skies. The FW-190, La5, P47, to name a few.
