If the 110 has more drag on it than a Spitfire, shouldn't it's dive acceleration be slower? All things being equal in drag, shouldn't their dive acceleration be equal?
Depends on the mass behind it, really, and the 110 is not a light bird. A piano will undoubtly fall faster then a feather, despite the feather having much better drag characteristics then a piano.
