Experts in agreement
Almost all the experts uphold the basic generalization that the Spitfire was more maneuverable than the Bf-109, and the Bf-109 was generally a bit faster and climbed somewhat better than the Spitfire. The experts include the best wartime and post-war test pilots, as well as engineers doing controlled testing of equipment. Historians, who have examined the official combat reports and post war accounts, have concluded that all sources of information on the subject are generally in agreement. They acknowledge the generalization and also the exceptions which were covered in this topic. Included in their summary reports are the acknowlegements of the fluidity in the performance characteristics of opposing fighters as time, locations, and battle circumstances changed.

Share with us names and science works of those experts....please.Only place where I constantly read about that artificial equalization of some Spitfire and some Bf-109 is on internet forums and Osprey series....
