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.

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
