I don't want to search in the book for the exact quote... I thought you would be honest to report the right part, but probably I was wrong...

Anyway he states that he did it only to piss Goering off and he still preferred the 109...

Honestly, are you posting here in a serious way or really do you like to manipulate facts?

Bah.. I'm out...

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
