Re: Small case study: Bf 109 D vs. French fighters

One should also remember that speed numbers can vary +/-3 % from factory numbers. Wear and tear on operational machines will cause a decrease from factory numbers.

I don't know about the French but the USAAF did their own testing of a/c and they had better match or exceed the manufacturers claims.
