" Remember in the hands of a good pilot the 109 is far superior than the spitfire."
Weasel, I'm not sure what to make of this. In certain situations the 109 had an edge over some of the earlier Mks of Spitfire but this was no longer the case by the middle of the War and certainly, by the time the War in Europe was drawing to a close, the Spitfire was by far the more capable of the two fighters.
Jets excluded, as far as the fighting in the West is concerned, there is simply nothing, NOTHING, that is better in a one-on-one fight than a Mk 9. If there is an exception it is probably the Mk 14.
