How does the Spitfire fly?
The engines of early models of Spitfires were fitted with carburettors which affected their ability to climb, also the early engines were not as powerful as later in the war. The service ceiling of a Mk1a was only 34,000 feet and although it could go higher it would not be able to manoeuvre properly. The Mk22 at the end of WW2 had an engine almost twice as powerful with fuel injectors which gave a service ceiling of over 43,000 feet. The Mk14e could reach 44,500 feet but was a lighter aircraft and the high altitude version of the Mk9 had a service ceiling of 45,000 feet.

What were the Spartans advantage in war?
Being allotted seven serfs each to support them, the Spartan warriors were able to devote themselves to training - the equivalent of a modern regular army, while other cities got by on part-time militias, their farmers getting a training day each couple of weeks in between ploughing their fields. The Spartans also, to reduce the threat of serf uprisings when they were away at war, each took seven serfs as light infantry with them, so a Spartan army of 5,000 armoured warriors numbered 40,000, as opposed to the other cities taking one light infantryman per armoured warrior = 10,000. However the wars they were involved in progressively reduced their pool of warriors, and eventually after a series of serious battles their numbers so dwindled that they could no longer field an effective army after their defeat by Thebes at Leuctra in 371 BCE.
How did Sparta collapse?
Sparta had a limited number of the armoured infantry (hoplites) which was progressively eroded in battles over 100 years faster than they could breed replacements. They began to use their helots (serfs) to replace the losses, but they were not the same quality heavy infantry, so after the losses of a defeated by Thebes at Leuctra in 371 BCE Sparta could no longer raise a credible army. Although Thebes and Athens were later over-run by Macedonia, Sparta just didn't have the numbers to make a comeback.
