I would look more specifically for the Spitfire Mk IX, Me-109G, FW-190A, P-51D and P-47D.

These are both variable locations depending on many factors that change dynamically in flight. There is a "range" inside which these values occur for each aircraft, however but I'm not sure what you're looking for.
