A strange old Polish guy sent me a drawing of this basically unknown
aircraft and claimed that it would have swept the skies of the German
invaders if it were built. He further claimed it would have been
superior to the Spitfire.
What is this guy talking about? The Me-109E was more than a match for
that obsolete looking crate and the German pilots already had
experience in Spain.
Now, what comments can I add regarding to the Spitfire claim?

He's likely a kook. You get the same kind of kooks claiming that
(for instance) German aircraft were superior to allied aircraft,
that they designed and in some cases began building supersonic,
long range aircraft that would have allowed them to bomb the
United States, and stuff like that. Best to ignore them

Yeah, kinda like some of the RAM kooks that don't believe the German
windtunnel data, thousands of tons of captured German documents and FE
(foreign equipment) flown at Wright Field/Patterson had ANYTHING to do
with the US postwar success in the space race and military aviation.
Point well taken... I ignore them too!
