Ok, and in riddle form. Batman would have loved to have flown this experimental USAAC twin if it wasn't plagued with engine cooling issues...

Yes, Bacham Ba349 Natter (Viper). One unsuccessful manned flight, another rumored. Something about those late war Nazi desperation weapons fascinate me. Your go!

Okay. In the summer of 1940, the Spitfires and Hurricanes were relatively easy prey for the 109's. In September, the Spits and Hurricanes put up a much better fight. Why? (Hint: I'm not talking about radar, the channel, distances, fuel, tactics, etc; just the planes themselves.) Thanks; Ernie P.

Because the Luftwaffe switched to bombing London instead of airfields? (I just watched The World At War on the Military Channel, and it was episode #4 on the BoB )
Edit: oops, maybe that's "tactics" so ???

Well proptop got mine right first but your question is still up...and I don't know! I'd agree with the switching to terror bombing London.

Are we waiting for Ernie P.?
I only have one more question according to the rules...so I'm trying to come up with a good one.
Only other thing I can think of right off hand, to answer Ernie's question is maybe an improved version of the Spitfire and Hurricane or the RR Merlin engines?

I'll have to get to reading if this is not the right answer.
EDIT!!!
Ah,, yes the Spit MK II was being received by squadrons in August as well.
Cheers,
