Great documentary about the Battle of Britain

Have to agree with TV presenter re the 109. You can argue all you like about the relative merits of the flying characteristics of the Spit and the 109. Firepower. And the 109 won out on that score. Pure and simple. Cant recall the name of a book I read re BOB years ago, where that was discussed in depth. Also compared the .303 vs 50 cals. With Fighter Command armed with 50 cals, it would have been a less close run thing. But that's counter factual of course, very much a what if. Hmmm, come to think of it, why was'nt Fighter command armed with 50 cals? Someone else can chime in here.
