Country:  | He uses that stuff with the needle applicator, that way he can just inject it straight into the blood  
lanc, by the Saggitario he means the Re-2005. The Re-2005 could easily deal with a Spit of the same era, as could a Veltro or a Centauro

| Here's what would happen if a Spitfire and Macchi met each other ! 
__________________  We have built a total of about 1250 of this aircraft (Me-262), but only fifty were allowed to be used as fighters - as interceptors. And out of this fifty, there were never more than 25 operational. So we had only a very, very few.

Country: | So I see. However the smoke was an experimental gas being used by the Italians that would cause following pilots to pass out and crash. It is actually the Spitfire crashing, not the MC.202, which is banking off to rejoin is formation

Country:  | That poses an additional hazard for the pilot, or is it a methane auot-destruct?

Country: | No, the pilot was safe from the eminatine of methan gases whilst flying, the tank the gas was contained in was quite small and a long way away. However due the the Italians forgetting to build their machines in factories properly there was a lot of gas leakage, and that was what killed it
