No, not tongue in cheek, just looking at the way in which WWII fighters
perform. With every evasive manoeuvre that is performed there is a
strong likelihood of some height being lost. If the dogfight goes on
for long enough the aircraft will eventually get close to the ground.
It is a recurring feature of accounts I have read.
