Re: MARSEILLE his last kill

Juha and Nick
You both may be correct. It must be remebered that was quite a different bird, however.
Concerning Soviet aircraft, of course they could have been and were dangerous but still they were years behind western aircraft. Performances of 1944 Soviet fighters put them on the same general level like Spitfire V, Me 109F or P-39. They lacked altitude performance of Spitfire IX or Me 109G and were nowhere near new toys like Tempest, Spitfire XIV or P-51.
