I disagree. If I was in that Spit I would probably have been shot down :-)
You can say 'Yeah but you are shit at dogfighting" but there was stuff in the
video that would probably keep me alive longer .
There is not an instructional video or book in existence that someone could not
say 'Yes but if he had done X he would have won.' Everything in Shaws guide
to combat can be countered by someone who knows what he is doing yet people
still find it useful.

Well, that was bollocks!
a useless 109 pilot making fatal errors from the start, if "you" find a 109
pilot this bad online, and you will, I would expect you to get the kill just as
easily.
A lot of his "data" is wrong, Bart and I have tested the G-14 and Spit9, the
climb rates are virtually identical, he might as well have been fighting
another spit9 for all the differences there are between planes, while I would
prefer to fight this match up in a Spit9, because of it's better
manouverability, if I had to fly the 109 I would have kept pressure on the Spit
the whole time and used the Sun.
Descending pressure, climbing pressure, energy trap, LOL = "Bullshit baffles
brains"

Quite a nice video detailing one encounter with a Spit IX being attacked by a
higher BF-109G14. Yes the 109 has to make mistakes but let's be honest. Pilots
*do* make mistakes and can still win if you do not respond correctly.
