Re: Chinese Spitfires are a Myth, right?

I would very much like to see a photograph of a Chinese Spitfire.

Do you know its source?

If you would like, send me a Private Message and I will supply my e-mail address (which is not hard to find on google).

The Soviets may have considered that as the PLAAF was doing a fairly good job keeping (Packard) Merlin-powered P-51s and Mossies operating, they could handle Spitfires. The Soviets sent the Chinese a lot of junk (e.g., MiG-9s that the Soviet Air Force wanted to dispose of rather than try and fly).
