Oh but there were. In may 1940 several bombers of the LW were shot down over Swiss airspace. In order to teach them, the LW attacked in the first week of June 1940. A force of several He111's and BF110's attacked the Swiss airforce. 2 Bf110 and 1 He111 were lost aginst onSwiss Bf109C. 4 days later th LW attacked again, claiming 1 Bf109E vs the loss of one Bf110. Then 12 Swiss Bf109E's attacked the german formation (32 Bf110's) claiming 3 of the intruders.Good question. From what I have seen, allied and axis fighters that entered Swiss airspace were typically in trouble before crossing into Swiss airspace and were escorted to a field to be interned for the duration of the war. It would be interesting to see if there ever were any air battles. I would think that the Germans respected the Swiss neutrality.
Yes Yugoslavian had also Hurricane and a local built fighter IK-3 (and older models).
Was Emil vs Emil afaik were not deployed Friedrich in Balkans Campaign
Thank you Mike. This is actually fun.
I figured I'd give the Kingcobra one more shot before venturing on to other A/C. So this comparison seemed interesting. The Frank was considered to be faster climbing and more maneuverable than USAAF fighters. Or was it? The following is from the TAIC report on the Ki-84 vs the US test report on the P-63A-10 and an early test on a P-63A with water injection:
Height........Ki.84-1a......P-63A-10......P-63A(early w/water injection)
meters.......mph/fpm......mph/fpm......mph/fpm
......0.........362/4,275....383/4,980....381/4,600
.1,000........379/4,350....394/4,825....393/4,460
.2,000........389/3,890....407/4,625....402/4,280
.3,000........389/3,570....415/4,350....412/4,060
.4,000........388/3,590....421/3,950....419/3,880
.5,000........414/3,610....423/3,450....427/3,440
.6,000........426/3,350....422/2,950....430/3,070

.9,000........403/1,720....394/1,500....404/1,850
10,000.......387/1,175....376/1,025....393/1,430
With the Kingcobra's handling qualities this would have been an awsome contest if the Ki-84 was in perfect condition. Just another "What if".
