The Spitfire VS the P-51 Mustang - Which one was better [ WWII DOCUMENTARY ]

Описание: The P-51 Mustang didn’t win WWII because it was the best dogfighter.
The Spitfire Mk XIV outperformed it in almost every air-combat metric—and history forgot it.
The Spitfire Mk XIV was the most advanced piston-engine fighter of World War II, yet it remains overshadowed by the legendary P-51 Mustang in aviation history. This incredible British fighter achieved climb rates 40-60% greater than the Mustang, demonstrated superior turning ability, and accomplished what seemed impossible - successfully engaging and defeating Germany's revolutionary Me 262 jets in aerial combat. With only 957 units ever produced compared to over 15,000 Mustangs, the Mk XIV's limited numbers meant its extraordinary capabilities were largely forgotten by history, despite the RAF's own wartime evaluations confirming its superiority in nearly every combat parameter.

The Spitfire Mk XIV's Rolls-Royce Griffon engine transformed the already formidable Spitfire design into a speed demon capable of intercepting V-1 flying bombs at treetop level, destroying more of these cruise missiles than any other Spitfire variant. German pilots and engineers, who flew captured Allied aircraft for evaluation, acknowledged the Mk XIV's exceptional performance characteristics, making it one of the few Allied fighters they genuinely respected and feared. This video explores the untold story of Britain's ultimate piston fighter, examining declassified performance data, pilot testimonies, and wartime records that reveal why the Spitfire Mk XIV deserves recognition as potentially the finest fighter aircraft of the Second World War.
