It is written in german, but anyway, it is a story about the Supermarine Spitfire part 1 (part 2, follows next months) where they talk about early issues with the Spitfire and her problems.
"
In the article it is written, that, since early 1940, WHEN possible, EVERY fighter Sqn, got 100 octan fuel!" ,"
Since the end of 1939, the focused already on 100 octan fuel, to rise the performance on the engines" ,"
The RAF used 100 octan since 1937 already, but it was limited very much, because, he was coming from the USA, and it was expensive"
I will scan the text, or page, but I dont like to fall in a copyright issue, if you know what I mean..
