Description

Robert Johnson told of an encounter with a Spitfire in his book "Thunderbolt",  utilizing his planes advantage in a friendly dogfight.  I tried to capture just a part of the engagement.

By keeping his airspeed up and by utilizing dive and zoom tactics, Johnson nullified the Spitfire's superior maneuverability. The British pilot was astonished to see the slower-climbing, less maneuverable P-47 barreling down on him. Check mate!
