  Dogfight - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A dogfight or dog fight is a common term used to describe close-range aerial combat between military aircraft.
Dogfighting emerged in World War I. Aircraft were initially used as mobile observation vehicles and early pilots gave little thought to aerial combat—enemy pilots at first simply exchanged waves.
Dogfights are generally contests fought at low airspeeds, while maintaining enough energy for violent acrobatic maneuvering, as pilots attempt to remain within air speeds that maximise their plane's turn rate and radius: the so-called "corner speed" that often lies between 300 and 400 knots, depending on conditions.

 Gasoline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Germans, relying entirely on "good" gasoline, had no such industry, and instead had to rely on ever-larger engines to deliver more power.
However, German aviation engines were of the direct fuel injection type and could use methanol-water injection and nitrous oxide injection, which gave 50% more engine power for five minutes of dogfight.
This could be done only five times or after 40 hours run-time and then the engine would have to be rebuilt.
