Actually I think your reading it wrong. I believe what he's saying is the British had really starting improving on the Spitfire around the time the US started arriving.

 | The Lanc was fitted with a ventrall mount but it was discarded because it couldn't carry as many bombs

| So ... would you say that the removal of the ventral mount constituted the castration of the Lancaster? I always thought she looked rather feminine.

| Actually, that paints a rather interesting picture: Momma Lancaster gives birth to her many explosive little bomblings. Awwww, it gets ya right in the ol' heart!  |

| My understanding is their was no connection between the He112 and the Spitfire. Supposedly R.J. Mitchell pretty much freehanded the eliptical shape, inspired by  rather than by applying any real math or science to it. =S= Lunatic |
