Really? Mark XIV Spitfires with the powerful Griffon engine and running on 150 octane fuel were stationed in France towards the end of the war. 4 times Spitfires were misidentified by Mustang pilots and were jumped. On each occasion the Spitfire was able to escape. The Mustang did not have the speed, nor anything like the climb rate, or the agility of the Spitfire. The Mustang never struck terror into the Luftwaffe pilots, the later versions of the Spitfire did. In Malta, the scramble to keep away from the Spitfires led to BF109s shooting down other BF109s on 2 occasions. When the VIV was jumped and dived, Luftwaffe pilots were shocked to see the Spitfire climb back up almost vertically and at a frightening speed.

One of my 8th grade teachers, a Mister Peppers, had served on a bomber during WW II. I believe they were doing missions in Italy and Eastern Europe. In any event he said he and his buddies used to collect all the empty bottles they could find and load them up and on the way back from a mission they'd drop the bottles. These would produce the most horrible screaming sound on the way down though of course the damage they'd do was rather monomial. It was still a significant emotional event for the people on the ground.

It didn't have the range. LW simply held back until bombers were unescorted. Sometimes they attacked, forcing Jugs to drop their tank, then withdrew until the Jug was bingo fuel. The strategic bombing campaign was therefore attenuated in the fall/winter of 1943 to allow replacement crews to be trained. So, the Jug failed in it's mission and Republic was very slow in reacting to the 1942, and the final Feb '43 directive to produce a long range escort. The Jug didn't get more internal fuel until mid-1944 - too late.

"Johnnie" Johnson was saying that Park didn't use his fighters from Tangmere, or 10 Group, and more distant airfields, etc.... and he was right. Dowding/Park were well aware of german bombers getting airborne and taking time to form up over France. LW Radio chatter broadcast their timings quite well. Park actually used 2 Sqn wings during the battle. The Big Wing was introduced at just the right time as more Spitfires were rolling off the production lines. It was the biggest psy ops victory of the battle and set the LW brass back on their heels and saved the lives of a number of poorly trained RAF replacement pilots..

The music at the beginning is brutal. It'd be nice to hear the airplanes.

Great airplanes, I'd love to have any of them, or just be allowed to run the engine for awhile.

I've been a ww2 "fan" since childhood.. MOSTLY because of the advancements made... these designs are works of art. They, and the early jets were influential in the automotive industry and many others. Btw... my career was manufacturing centrifugal compressors, a design that I knew of since 9yrs old 😛

@@MrDaiseymayGranted, fuel injection, hydraulics, and engine design definitely benefitted the auto industry. But, the advancements of the peacetime Space Race, and subsequent missions are seen in far more everyday-use products.
