You could have instead said that you politely disagree ! 
__________________  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: | According to you every history book states 19, yet two other people have said otherwise not including me.
I'll go with 15, as it says each squadron. You're a moron, Soren...it's so beautiful that it rolls off the tongue.

| Plan_D how about you stop your obviously childish behavior and name-calling, and then actually start backing up your own statements and arguements ?
There were exactly 19 Spitfire squadrons, and 32 Hurricane squadrons
I dont know where you got 11 or 15 from, or where you've seen two people come with different numbers ? KraziKanuk's numbers are the same as mine

Country: | My lord he just told me to back up my own statements and arguments, that's rich coming from you. The only one on this whole site that talks about stuff, without a single source.
You make me laugh, you really do. I could be wrong, and you right and I'd still laugh at you because you're such a moron.
