Which Spit? Spit XIV beat a P-51B maybe, but what about a P-51D? Or H?

Nice Corsair pic. Im guessing thats a later model as it appears to have the 4x20mm.

I agree what made the P-51 stand out over the Spit was its range. The Spit compares with the Me-109 as more suited for homeland defence and intercepting. The 51 and 38 were deffinatly more suited for long range escort duty and flights deep into Germany.
