There are subtle (or maybe not) historic links here....its amazing how fast aviation advanced toward the end of WW2...and on from there.
You can join the dots, I'm too tired to explain at the moment.

Great set ,Marty.
If you take the 109 and Sabre, there's probably about ten or eleven years between the designs.
The Sabre is almost a direct descendant of the Messerschmitt P.1101.
And the fact that Hartmann flew both types with the Black Tulip marking is also historic.

The other screen with the Spit and Hunter , links to Neville Duke who flew that Spitfire and the porotype Hunter.
