    The Spit is a pretty crappy high level bomber - it's nearly impossible to make sense of the sight/drop angle relationship....

    Troll elsewhere.......

    From an innovation point of view the Mossie gets my vote for shure.

    Brilliant.

    Its the spitfire no spitfire battle of britain would have been lost. britain would have been in jail rest of the war.And lucky for britain germany started to bomb the citys instead of staying the airfields because britain would have lost anyway.
