Thank you for taking the time to explain it.. My head has stopped hurting!


I'm no aerodynamics expert, but I am a very keen amateur historian, BoB being my area of expertise. I'm inclined to agree with you. I've read many, many combat reports, memoirs, interviews written by the people who were there and it's hard to believe that this issue was widespread, or severe. I've never read of anyone complaining about it. Quill and Henshaw both mention problems they encountered whilst testing and this wasn't one of them.
