Yes. His mastery of 3d space and relative velocity is amazing. Having watched that it breaks my heart to know I'd have no hope.
The shootdown of the 262 is interesting because I read in a Spitfire history book that the first English jets were tried out against Spitfires until the early 50's. A good Spit pilot could quite often beat a jet pilot with manoeuvrability. To continue these 'interesting/worrying' tests they resurrected Spitfires from museums and foreign air forces. Then heat seeking missiles were invented...
Or so the book says.
and then 15 109s! Possible kill of one Der Schwalbe jet, confirmed 4 kills of 109s!
Wow!
