[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 42310, member: 597"] Actually Rip, the Spits used to let the V1's catch up to them and tip the wing as it tried to over take them, given the V1 was good for over 390 mph. Moreover it was more common that the Hawker Typhoons were used for this with their superior low level performance ( Napier Sleave valve 24 cylinder engines) with the Typhoons trying to tip the V1 in the same manner or shoot it with it's four 20 mm cannons.....but they gave up doing this in the end, as the falling bombs would crash and explode on allied territory before they even reached the coast, deciding to leave them to the allied anti aircraft gunners.......Greg.
