c'mon say it, we'd all rather be in the Boulton Paul Defiant against any other a/c in 1939 right? Right?
Weren't the first BF-110C delivered in Nov39, first used in combat at Heliogoland in Dec against Wellingtons.
AFAIK the 32 BF-110 on strength with LG(Z)1 and ZG1 up to this time were the development models with Jumo engines in service testing (110B).
Also Polikarpov I-16 is 460km/h in 1936 with M-25 (type 5 iirc), in 1939 with M-62R top speed is 525km/h (type 18 I think) or with M-63 and cannon (type 24) 500km/h.
And isn't Hurricane more like 550km/h with Rotol. 510km/h was for Watts I believe tested 1938 during a speed run with the two blade prop (it broke a record).
Also I think the Boulton Paul Defiant was delivered before Sep39, top speed 505km/h.
