More that a great vision I would say great ambition.

A man with the former should realize that a big project needs great resources... infact we're still here after 6 years (IIRC SoW's development started in 2006) and he has thrown in the towel.

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
