there is a story that may have been an urban legend. it is of a spitfire that gets bounced by an ME109 that had a go but missed. story goes that this spitfire took him on and in some absolutely impressive flying downed him.
when the spitfire landed at the airfield it is discovered that the pilot is a lovely blond woman who was delivering the aircraft to the airfield.

you read them occasionally but is there any truth in stories like that??
Highly unlikely. Aircraft on delivery flights carried no ammunition.
