Just a minor point.

It seems to me that the Me-110 was at least as fast/faster as/then  the British
fighters; it was certainly much faster than the 109, not to mention its better 
range.  Of course, than doesn't change the fact that it turned like a cow.


Gary.  Opinions mine are, but happy I would be if share them you would.
