To each their own. I honestly don’t hold it against anyone if they like their 109s. Live and let live.
Beautifully made point. I don’t even disagree at all. That’s why I can respect and love someone who blasts my beautiful spitfire to pieces with a masterfully flown Messerschmitt. I’ll even quote German fliers of that era from time to time ![]()
To me it’s a feeling. An emotional reaction. A stuka is not something I can easily see as separate from the way and ends to which it was used. This one might very well consider a personal failing. I heard Messers are great fun and gorgeously engineered machines but my odd personality quirks preclude me from partaking.
