| It seems that only with a second acount you can spam vote. And I checked many accounts with 0 posts... But I can't see any reason doing this. (If the defiant get more votes we 'll know who have done this) | |

The RAF lent the 8th USAAF Airforce a couple of Defiants as Target-Tugs when they arrived in Britain

Country: | I like the Defiant! They had some success as dayfighters until the Germans realised they had turrets

Country:  | Spitfires ruled in the early versions as well and were faster and more maneovurable than the Bf-109. Indeed the only thing the Bf-109 could do better was dive. Therefore I would say the Spitfire as Spitfires outclassed in certain areas the Bf-109 and most other fighters right up until the end of WW2 and indeed survived into the 1960s-1970s in service whereas most of these other aircraft died before or at the end of WW2, figeratively speaking. | |

| I seem to recall the 264sqn hold the record for kills in 1 day.Think it was 35.not bad for for a turret fighter.Like u say though it didn't last long.If I have to choose a proper day time fighter in Bob it would be the Hurricane.There was more of them in the battle than spitfires and their kill ratio was higher.The spitfire was the glamour fighter and a better fighter than the hurri but the battle would not have been won without the hurricane. | |
