Re: P-47 Actions 29 Mar 44 near Berlin
Yes - I do know what the 'altitude' of the deck is at Reno. The rules however stipulate that the speed records be established 300 feet AGL not sea level.
No - He stated fastest fighter (presumably piston) but I must admit I have serious doubts that a Spitfire ever came close to 600mph in a dive but willing to examine the facts (and the data).
The 262 reached a verified and validated .86 Mach in a dive - no way the Spit exceeded that and kept it's tail on.
