But we also have the following..


Ok..

So we have Ulrich Steinhilper telling us that is how it works, that the 109 pilots constantly changed the propeller pitch and RPM to improve the performance..

So we have the opinion of an actual WWII military trained pilot as to how the 109 pilots did it..

Which is in conflict of how Crumpp said 109 pilots did it..

So at this point there is no need for any further discussion or debate..

Both sides have spoken!

A) Crumpp a modern civilian trained pilot
B) Steinhilper an actual WWII military trained pilot

Thus the only thing left to do is decide who do you want to belive

Crumpp or Steinhilper

Ummmm, this is so tough...lemme see. Umm a Luftwaffe pilot who flew the 109 in combat v Crumpp. Oh gosh I think it'll have to be the 109 pilot.
