Such a beautiful aircraft. Often I wonder what it was like to fly. Though
an interceptor, could it perform as a dog-fighter?

just in the middle of a book called Never in Anger written by Anthony 'Bugs'
Bendell who had a long career in the RAF - flew Hunters then onto the
Lightning - also did a stint flying the F-105 as an exchange Officer - it's
a great read - and yes the Lightning was a good dog fighter.

get it & enjoy

see ya
