    Thanks CINDERS! I debate myself sometimes, but the Spitfire and P-51 rank nearly the same in my books. They are actually very small aircraft. Just a VERY small aircraft with the mind boggling Rolls Royce engine attached. A P-47, Corsair, etc were HUGE next to the spitfire and Mustangs. The ME-109 is also a teeny fighter.

    That was my first impression when seeing a B17 as well for the first time. Put a whole new perspective on things after that.

    Yes, until I saw a Bearcat sitting beside a Piper four seater...the Piper looked like a toy.

    Cool footage and cool plane. I loved the spitfire so much, my first car was a triumph spitfire.
