Right on, Spud. I shuddered when I saw those fighters flying between the buildings too...no pilot would have been stupid enough to try that stunt. Even if you could survive such a manuever, you'd be losing peripheral vision to both sides while doing it, which would be most unwise during a dogfight.

As for the Spitfire...yeah, I wouldn't try taking them on in a P-40, that's for sure! They were far better dogfighters. So were the Zeros, but the Americans found ways of dealing with them through better tactics after a while.
