Mr. Clarke flew many types of planes, Spitfires, P47, Hurris, P40s etc...
There are some interesting "clues" about the C.202 too... and it's so interesting to see how feared it was among the Allied pilots who encountered it in the skies in 1941-43.

Weird thing in IL2... the C.202 can't outturn a P40...



read on!

I hope you'll enjoy this.

Excellent read mate, thank you for sharing. It's weird also that some books ("courage alone" above all) glorify Italian pilots who fought boldly in inferior machines such as the CR.42, this one seems to blame them because they didn't make use of their superior aircrafts.

Like Churchill said, the first victim of wars is truth.
