Because, correct me if I'm wrong, they didn't test them at NACA.

I'm pretty sure that if I came on here saying that the 109 E was wrong, and used an F or G's data I'd get laughed out of here. Especially by you.

So I'd like some hard data on the same phenomenon in I's and II's, please.

Thanks.

Edit: and bear in mind that the spitfire in lanes docs is around 300lb lighter than a spit in BoB trim.

The airframe of the Mk Va is similar to the Mk I and II
