Resp:Hi Navalwarrior,
Yeah, that's the story they want you to believe, but the whole thing was rigged. I've been in touch with Kratz, Vicellio (who ran the test), and the British pilot who flew the Mosquito. The British Mosquito production was tied up, with nothing available for the Americans, so the P-61 had to win the flyoff to save face for the Americans. It's a long, fugly, complicated story, and it's taken years to find all the hidden truths and missing pieces...
Cheers,
Dana
