I thought the whole fantasy scenario was under equal conditions with the fight over the front. At the risk of having some fun on this thread, the theory was that neither would be able to shoot the other down in a "fair" fight (yes, I know, there's no such thing).
But eventually Mac's SE would lose altitude quicker than the DVII, which could hold its altitude better. That would put Udet in a superior position and rather than get pasted, Mac would use his SE's speed and bolt for home.
Hence, Udet in a decision rather than a knockout.
I'm going to go read a really serious book now. Or maybe a medical journal. Hey, I know... today's obituaries!  |
Thank you Stephen. You're probraly the only one who has answered the question they way I would want people to.
