Re: Me110: Ill-used in BoB

Goran
I know where I am aiming, and I would say that post of Juha puts it in the shortest possible way. Sometimes it happens that after spending long years on research, someone remains incompetent. I note that any discussion with the man is senseless and waste of time.
That said, validity of discussed data is dubious to say the least, and I doubt if any accurate figure may be produced, partially due to losses of documents, and due to nature of combat.
I have read the article by Mr Price, and I think that you misunderstood what he meant, especially as he was (I believe) one of the first to describe phenomena of overclaim during the Battle for popular audience. Anyway, he meant long turning dog-fights of fighter-vs-fighter and not involvement of large number of aircraft in a limited space. Otherwise, he apparently had not searched long enough.
Finally, Me 110 was 'transfered' to other duties, and that means it was no more useful in its intended role, so it was removed from the inventory of day fighter units (please no discussion about difference between Jagd and Zerstoerer). Of course Mr Brown may have a different opinion, but then, does anyone know full background of decisions undertaken by the Luftwaffe's command?
