I recently watched a documentary (Netflix) "Spitfire" the plane that saved the world, and learned in the later days when Germany started producing the FW190 successor to the 109 it was running circles around the spitfire.
England then began fitting the Rolls Griffon engine with FI to the tune mof 25lbs boost requiring larger 5 & 6 bladed props (the MK.24 version).
The Luftwaffe then avoided dog fights with it and it was also able to chase the V2 rockets.
Gotta love FI.
The documentary is pretty decent. Good all the way to the end.
