Quote:
Ivanov emphasizes that it was necessary to draw the enemy into a right turn, “because the Messerschmitt’s propeller rotated to the left, and the airplane executed right turns with greater difficulty than left turns.” For this reason, the regiment’s pilots mastered the execution of deep right turns in the Spitfire. In Ivanov’s opinion, this training was no accident, and many enemy fighters were destroyed using this particular method.

The Me109 prop rotates to the right - clockwise unless Oleg has completely stuffed it up, which simply means :-
1)
At high speed
Left turns are faster than right - that's if you don't down throttle and if you do this, you turn faster in the right turn !!
2)
At low speeds
Right turns are tighter and more controllable (same as the FW190)
So where has the dis-information penetrated... ??
