  1. Hundreds have corrected me? Not Wilbur soaring twit, not baracudabum, not Mick Geek and not you. I have given facts which can be verified, you have argued against true facts with nothing. Who is the loser? I make it you. Now since you can only lie how about you name these hundreds or give up as the ignorant liar you are.

  2. Poor stupid stevie So you have a good memory but can't name any of these hundreds and you are a typical loser who tries to lie and can't accept when you are wrong, I have shown you up as the liar you are often enough. I do not need medication to make you look stupid. Do you remeber trying to claim Supermarine did not make the Spitfire? That was not long ago and I showed you were wrong then too.

  3. steve. You just keep on showing your own ignorance. You claimed to have a good memory but you can't even prove that can you? Do you remember claiming that Goring said " Give me Spitfires"? Do you remember trying to claim that Supermarine had not existed for 10 years before the war? or that the name Supermarine was resurrected for war propaganda? Poor idiot you have nothing and I do not need to check my comment history because I never lie and if I make a mistake I will admit it but you lie and you never admit to being wrong. Keep on trying to make out the Supermarine Spitfire was a Vickers Srmstrong Spitfire. British companies might be a bit of a mystery to you, like Vickers Armstrong or Supermarine Aviation Works ( Vickers ) company or Metropolitan Vickers or Armstrong Siddeley or Wolseley Siddeley or Bristol Siddeley. I trust that is not too much for your tiny brain.

  4. Poor little stevie. What a pathetic liar you are. You tried to claim that Supermarine did not exist and that there was no Supermarine Spitfire. two of your many lies. If you went through th eblitz it was most likely when you had a dream as a little boy in the 1990's. You do not even remember half of what you said.

  5. Not a Spitfire, it could pull more G than most fighters.

  6. Strange how they saw lights down below when there was a blackout. The real facts are the Luftwaffe was bombing towns and cities from the start of the war, they had been bombing British cities and Churchill was already thinking of retaliating because of the mounting death toll when this so called accidental bombing of London happened. London had been bombed quite a lot already, mainly the docks and East End.

  7. Patrick. I wonder if you know what a blackout was? Have you ever seen blackout curtains? or even tried to find your way at night in a blacked out city and no one was out at night having a barbaque or a bonfire. There were ARP wardens checking and anyone showing a light could be fined. Before then the Luftwaffe was often intentionally bombing civilians, they did so from the start of the war. Over 1,000 British civilians had been killed by bombing before then.

  8. Patrick. It looks as if you are trying to make excuses for the bombing of civilians by the Luftwaffe. Even if somehow there was a light when there should not be why would they bomb it? the docks were not exactly well lit. The mounting death toll included civilians in towns and cities with no factories and maybe you forget all the bombing of cities in Europe with no military purpose. Actually the RAF went out of their way to avoid civilian casualties until they bombed Berlin in retaliation, I believe the numbers killed in Berlin were very low.

  9. The UK had prison camps for German people, that is a well known fact, also well known that German prisoners never got away from a single POW camp. When did Germany kill civilians on purpose? the many millions murdered in death camps for a start, when did the Luftwaffe kill civilians? The bombing of civilians with no military purpose or are you denying the bombing of these towns and cities happened? Apart from Spain, maybe you have heard of Guernica? This is from the BBC Once World War Two had started, a now 'bloodied' Luftwaffe used aerial bombing to great effect throughout their advance through Europe. As well as using air power to overwhelm military forces they also attacked civilian targets. During the invasion of Poland in 1939, houses were deliberately bombed to force refugees onto the roads and create chaos. Warsaw finally surrendered after two-and-a-half weeks of continuous bombing. In Rotterdam, Holland, in May 1940 carpet bombing was used to hasten a surrender. The use of air warfare had a terrifying psychological effect. You said a source, that is just one of many.

  10. The BBC is a very serious source, there are many sources but I do not bother with am imbecile like you so go find out for yourself idiot. I somehow knew that whatever source I gave you would try to make out it was not a valid source, that is standard pro Nazi practice.

  11. Genetically backwards fool. I only insult idiots. Carry on being the ignorant loser you are. The BBC is as accurate as anything you can find, in fact much more so. Again there are many sources but you are too stupid to look for yourself, pro Nazi fool.

  12. Because I do not take in Nazi propaganda like you. That makes a lot of sense (NOT) Btw it is a Nazi or an idiot, you seem like both.

  13. Except the Daimler Benz DB 601 was less powerful than the smaller Rolls Royce Merlin .

  14. Rogcur Rabbit. Translated to English the early Spitfire had a slight problem with negative G which did not really bother the pilots much, in fact it was first improved in 1940 and completely solved in 1941, the Rolls Royce Merlin was more efficient than the bigger Daimler Benz.

  15. He was on the Eastern front, I don`t know if he ever met a Spitfire, even if there were some in Russia.

  16. The Bf 109 and Spitfire were the only front line fighters at the start and end of WW II. The P 47 was the biggest, heaviest and most expensive single engine fighter ever, the P 51 was only a front line fighter late in the war. Late Bf 109`s and Spitfires were better and cheaper than the US planes. The Spitfire shot down many Bf 109`s and a number of Me 262`s, no Me 262 could shoot down a single Spitfire, not even unarmed photo reconnaissance Spitfires, the P 47 and P 51 could not shoot down Spitfires either, USAAF pilots in both tried, in fact 4 USAAF pilots in P 51`s attacked a lone USAAF pilot flying an unarmed Spitfire Mk XI, the Spitfire pilot outmaneuvered them and having seen their squadron markings he simply climbed away leaving them well behind.

  17. swiety. What a silly question. As a fighter pilot he shot down 81 planes and they were fighters and bombers, it is possible that some of these planes may have crashed on houses and he has no way of knowing if that is the case or not. It was war and in a war you do what it takes to win, that is from a single man in a lonely position with a rifle having to make a quick decision to shoot or not, I have been inn that position and I am not sorry I did not have to shoot anyone but I did raise the rifle and aim it ready to fire, I did not fire because i realized it was not the enemy but two of ours. My father in WW II was once in a similar position with a Webley revolver and he also would have used it if he had to. .In a war we either go in prepared to fight or we do not take part at all. Afterwards we have to let it go and forgive. There were Nazi`s who did mass murder but a fighter pilot is not one of them.

  20.  @0000SYL  I think NATO might wonder how they had any of these Generals? Many German claims were inflated for propaganda.

  21. None.

  22.  @nickfriend3629  From January 1943 to the end of the war he was on the Russian front and while there were Spitfires there they were not the easiest fighter to shoot down, I should say that as far as I know he never shot down a single Spitfire. Just like Erich Hartmann with 352 claims but not a single Spitfire.

  23.  @nickfriend3629  My source for Erich Hartmanns 352 kills comes from his claims, P 39, P 51, Yak 9, La 5 and many more but not a single Spitfire.
