Re: Cobras, Mustangs, Thunderbolts, Eastern vs Western front, Franek vs ...
But what was the production standard of an "ordinary" Tropicalised Mk.Vc by 1945? Despite the appearance of 4-bladed props and individual exhausts on Seafires and some RAF Mk.Vs, the low-rated engines did not need either of these fittings.
However good the Yugoslavs in these trials, Newton's laws still would have applied to them. With engines of similar power, the lighter Yak 3 should have comfortably exceeded the Mk.V in a climb. So either the Yak had lower-power engines for some reason, or the Spitfire had higher. I presume we are talking about steady climbs, not zoom climbs. Which fuels were used in the trials? Do you have access to a report or are you relying upon anecdotal comments?
