Being made of wood and fabric, the airframe could withstand a lot of damage but still get you home. Also, it was easier/quicker to repair. Yes, and it could out turn both the Me109 and the Spitfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panoma1 Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 Watched the D Day flight whilst in Eastbourne last year, Dakotas accompanied by a squadron of Spitfires and Hurricanes, what a fantastic sight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the Mk 5 Spitfire that had the edge over the ME 109F which outclassed the Hurricane which was up against it with the Me 109E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
