steady on old chap, the Mustang might well have been the girl to get your knees trembling, but the Spitfire was the girl you married...
No one's mentioned the Mosquito- Two Merlin engines carrying balsawood- stupidly quick and after the superchargers were fitted it flew above the 262s ceiling height- I wondered how it felt to have your unbeatable state of the art interceptor bested by shed-tech!
The "Cheeky Bast@rd" plane...they even turned up at Nazi Rallies in Berlin in 1943 when the Goosesteppers claimed it was impossible- "OI OI!"
