The History Channel video is interesting, and the P51 pilot was certainly very good, but I would like to see someone try to pull off the manoeuvre that scored the first kill against me. If I was that 109 pilot I would pull up, passing over the P51, and ending up positioned above, with both an energy and an altitude advantage. This would effectively be fight over, or at least me having a major advantage, with the P51 caught at low speed, not enough altitude to trade for speed and not having a low speed manoeuvrability advantage over the Bf109.
