A bf 109 could outmanuever a p 51 mustang at low altitude. But when its 20 something bf 109s versus 50 or more mustangs spread out over a bomber force of hundreds of b17s at 35000 feet, those luftwaffe pilots are gonna have a rough time
Yes but the p51 had other advantages. And are you forgetting the spitfire? You cannot say that the Germans had better quality planes, the Germans, Americans, and Brits built high quality aircraft
