P-40’s on the Eastern front….

As far as the debate over the P-40 verse ‘109 or 190 is concerned remember on the eastern front the P-40 & P-39 both were hard to handle by Luftwaffe fighters because all of the combat was at low level. The VVS was evidently very good at making the Luftwaffe fight down low.
It also amazes me that the F4F matched the Zero one for one in loss to kill ratio while the Spitfire V had a rough time of it against the Zero. I think IMHO one fighter attribute gets ignored alot, range. Range can be a force multiplier enabling you to stage out of more airbases or concentrate at some distant objective ,it also can allow you to be more persistent in combat.
