It would seem if Mr. Martin and Howard Hughes designed an airplane, It would be absolute perfection but as yet unfinished and unflown.From what I have read about MB, Martin was a ditherer who wanted everything perfect instead of good enough which resulted in the company making a very good 1943 aircraft, the MB5 in 1946, what's ironic is Hawker, who also had a reputation, was still making 1939 aircraft, the Hurricane in 1944. What killed the MkIII Spit was a war had to be fought but it lived on in the MkVII, VIII and XIV.
Why would the existing production lines need to be celared from Spitfire IIs in order to make the III?

Also engines, the MkIII had the two speed Merlin XX but MkII airframes where fitted with 45's, a simplified single speed XX. The FW190 would not have had the impact it did if the MkIII was built, but a war needed to be fought.Because if it is going to be the main production aircraft, the completed orders of Spitfire IIs need to be finished before the new production begins. In 1940 when the Spit III was being discussed, Westland and CB are not ready, so yeah, they could be developed for the Mk.III, but existing production contracts have to be fulfilled first. New production lines didn't just start from scratch - the manufacturer received orders for aircraft before the decision was made to build a the factory. The Mk.III's fuselage had differences to the earlier model, whereas converting IIs to Vs meant that IIs could be converted far more easily. Does that make sense?

Smith was no fool and saw the path ahead for the Spitfire as moving swiftly to meet challenges rather than continuing along a pre-determined path. The Mk.III offered an immediate advantage, but for how long? And how long would it take to establish production of the Mk.III for the situation to change, requiring an even better Spitfire?
My opinion the MkIII was the only one on the list that was able to be put in service and make a difference, it was better than anything flying in 1940-41.

I think its my fault.I didn't see it on that list!
Until the end of the war, from the MkIII which is still on the top of the heap up to 1942 we go to the MkVIII, a MkIII with a merlin 60 series in '42 then the MkXIV in '43, a MkVIII with Griffon power. The Spit needed it's internal fuel capacity increased, the 2 speed then 2 speed 2 stage Merlin gives it the power to have that.Smith was no fool and saw the path ahead for the Spitfire as moving swiftly to meet challenges rather than continuing along a pre-determined path.

What is Pushmepullyou in Russian and German?Just 10? Let me turn it up to 11 and add Do 335.
Because I like it.

I thought it was a druckmichzugdu but its been a while since I was in Germany (probably not long enough now I have thought about it).Der Püschenpullenluftmaschinen.
If not, it should be...
Too many spaces, can you run them all together like kerbschlagbeigeversuch?How about:
Pfeffersteak mit Pommes Frites & Bitburger
But we could make a really long word out of it,To be serious, push-pull "auf Deutsche" is "drücken ziehen".
Doesn't really sound exciting, tho.
As for Russian, perhaps Dimlee may be able to help
