Supermarine Spitfire

You two are obviously Goons fans! and all I can say to this is <Stop this naughty-type bickering>

The Spitfire was a good fighter, not the best of the war by any means but a good one nonetheless. My own sympathies lie with the Hawker Hurricane personally but there we are thats what makes this life such an interesting and varied tapestry, eh?

Maybe so but it was responsible for far more enemy kills than the Spit, it enabled far more pilots to become aces simply because it was a far more docile machine.

more than just the spit, in the BoB it claimed more enemy aircraft than all the other air and ground defences combined

I read a book by <insert some British pilot from BoB that later was affiliated with the royal family somehow I think> that covered from WWI until the end of WWII and how the RAF and Luftwaffe grew, fought, in the case of the Luftwaffe died, then rebuilt in Russia, then fought some more...

Anyways, the book said the Hurricanes were a lot better than Spit against the bombers because they were more stable gun platforms, unlike the Spits whose wings would flex when they shot. Hurricanes were as important as Spits (if not moreso) in the BoB because they were normally the ones killing bombers and occasionally fighting 109s whereas the Spitfires generally just fought the 109s (but to the credit of Spits, they kept them (or some) busy while the Hurricanes could get their work done).
