@Glider:
Eric Schilling described the 'barn door' ailerons of the Zero as the same kind of limit that you do.
Even the term high speed, IMO is relative to the plane and not absolute. But those Gaston-claims from 2008 (yup, read the post dates) keep going to FW's out-turning Spits at low speed.. are much easier to shoot down.
Herra, you should have been around 8-10 years ago when the aero-engineers were posting actively. All the little details, the full 9 course meal was laid out and the result was more to disagree on!
As to pilot stories, just count the missing details starting with who was piloting the other plane(s) or how good were they? Don't forget that 'much' is not a detail! In the end, if they tell 10% then that is a very detailed story.
