Since they state that a captured 109 is inferior to the Hurricane as fighter, then I wonder what are the mandatory characteristics of an airplane they want to call it "fighter".

No problem... British still drive on the left side of the road.. it's a matter of preference.

But they didn't really say that did they, they just say the 109 is less manouverable.....a reasonable handicap as a dogfighter.

we drive on the left for a historic reason not really preference or because we have 2 heads and 6 fingers on each hand

And so do the Japanese. My car is a grey import from Japan. Great car too.

You guys should put the 109 stuff in a separate thread.
