*Buzzsaw* linked several links in 109 e3b against spitfire II topic, i noticed one thing:
http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/avi...2-a-20108.html
"The discussion was led by 'Glider' Gavin Bailey, who is a well respected historical journal whose material is subject to critical scrutiny by the best of English historians."
He wrote this:
1st August 1940 Memo from Downing re the Handling of the Merlin Engine
This note is advising the pilots that there is an increase in engine failures in the overuse of the emergency 12lb boost.
The interesting thing is that this memo was sent to ALL fighter groups. Had we been talking about the 16 squadrons or less this would not have been the case. It would have been sent to the squadrons involved.
This important information -i think - belongs to this topic.
