Re: Luftwaffe Technical Intelligence on the P-47
During the P-38/47/51 WWII pilot (ace) interviews documented in the History Channel`s `Dogfights,` the matter of the Me 109`s right turning ability is mentioned time and time again. `The intelligence officer stressed to us that the Messerschmitt struggled in a right turn and was much more dangerous when turning left,` (or something to that effect) was stated in at least three interviews with American ace pilots. (It was apparently a formal briefing, and essentially a coaching session that they were getting.) And all of them credit that little piece information with saving their lives.
I`m wondering if the Luftwaffe had the same `official` focus in these matters..
