Ah! The Brewster Buffalo flying past the white granite cliffs of SoCa. Classic! My dad flew a jet one in Korea.

The “Spit’’ is a good plane. Very good. The Mustang was better.(hat tip the the Rolls Royce Merlin engine.) Spitfires didn't do anywhere near the flying and escorting of bombers compared to the 8th. Air Force. Americans pilots accounted for far more kills when it came to the ME 109s and FW 190s than the RAF ever did.
