Re: Need assistance: Role of the Luftwaffe/Germany in the Battle of Britain?
Taking off in the 109 was relatively easy. If one watches videos, it can be seen the track was curved. Now landing was another matter. Again the 109 was relatively easy to land, some say docile, but the problem was when the wheels touched the ground due to the toe out of the wheels.
Over at the Allabloutwarfar board someone did a study comparing the Fw190 and the 109, iirc with JG26, and a/c accidents. What was surprising was the Fw190 had worse stats than the 109.
Btw, the Spitfire had a narrower track than that of the 109.
