Hardly... try Galland's BF109, or any of those Japanese guy's Zekes,
Franks, and Oscars. Hell, even Bong's p-38 beats out that Brewster
Buffalo (which, despite your fetish for it, still sucked as a fighter
when pitted against contemporary fighters - which "Rata's", "Mosca's",
and PO's weren't).

Galland flew for a long time, and there were _many_ improvements in
the BF109 over the course of the war. Are you suggesting that Galland
flew the _same_ 109 throughout the war?
