There isn’t much to support the theory that the Stafighter was a ‘death trap’ -plenty of evidence of Luftwaffe examples being lost flying at low altitude often in poor weather in Europe but when compared to the loss rate of other types it didn’t compare unfavourably !

I still remember what they used to say in the RAF.

Want a Starfighter? buy a field in Germany and sooner or later one will drop into it.
