109 myths as PROOF that uneven slat activation could NOT cause spins.. Yup no chance of bias at that website! NOT! One glance at that site and anyone can see that site goes way out of it's way to interpret what was said about uneven slat activation in the best possible light for the 109
With that said, instead of 'words' from a biased Internet website, how about 'words' from actual Bf109 pilots in a book by David Isby called The Decisive Duel: Spitfire vs 109? Will this meet your standards of proof robtek?

Now it is decision time.. As in who are you going to belive?
1) A biased website quote posted by Crumpp.
2) A quote of an actual WWII Bf109 pilot.
The choice is clear, but I am sure that some folks like Crumpp, Tomcat, and robtek will find creative ways to disregard what this actual WWII Bf109 pilot had to say about the slats causing spins..
