Hello Jim
one must remember that gunner in 110 wasn’t strapped as pilot onto his seat, otherwise he couldn’t use his gun effectively. After all he needed to align his head with the gunbarrel to take a proper aim. There are cases that even gunners of 410s didn’t stay on their seats during hard defensive manoeuvring in 44.

Hello Birgir
now P-38 was surprisingly good turner, read 109 pilots comments on Tunis air combats in 42/43. It was also excellent climber. E. Brown might have some on 110 dive behaviour. IIRC 110 suffered as 109 the heaving of controls at high speeds but was surprisingly docile at lower speeds.
