A second observation, can someone explain how the Me109 is supposed to have a better manoverability at higher speeds than the SPitfire when all the tests point out how difficult the 109 is to manoever at high speeds due to the way the controls stiffen up at high speed compared to the Spitfire?

Don't confuse high load factors found in instantaneous performance with low load factors achievable in sustained performance.
