You mention both the Spit Mk1 and the Me109E and how they compared. Surely that is a question that ply someone who has flown both can answer?

I have Pilots notes for the Spit Mk2 and the Me109E but it would be impossible to give an answer based on the notes.

Chuck Yeager said that the P39 was one of his favorite mounts! Also, the P39s sent to the RAF, did not have the turbo-supercharger that was standard in the early models, hence the poor high level performance.

Best, well I suppose I would have to say the Spitfire, but at heart I am a Hurricane man!!

But the FW190 comes a very close second!
