Note at 3:54 how the 190 pilot descends as he retracts the gear.

My favourite part is the opening where the 190 drops from above and behind the Spitfire, a classic attack.

I have just finished Pierre Clostermanns book "The Big Show", he had a lot of encounters with 190s, a very detailed autobiography, I was surprised the Luftwaffe was still putting up a very stiff resistance until the end, a lot of history books just say the Luftwaffe had lost air superiority and leave it at that. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07NJ9DRCX/
