The actual value of the exercise appears obscure.

It appears to be to compare the efficiency of the DB 605A in the Spitfire compared to that of the 109G, therefore lots of info on the effectiveness of the oil coolers and radiators.

The reason I asked for the 109 subtype was that I wanted to know if both aircraft flew with their tailwheels in the same position. As far as I know, that of the Spit V was non-retractable as was that of later Gustavs, while that of very early ones was retractable.

Be assured, klemchen, the 109G would have had a fixed tailwheel unit.
