The Spitfire airplane had the unusual quality that allowed it to be flown in a partly stalled condition in accelerated flight without becoming laterally unstable

You know that this matter can't be resolved right, do you?
not violent: there is no meter for the stall to be "violent/not violent".
unusual amount: is it possible to quantify the usual one? And usual compared to?
many flight conditions: which ones?
party stlled: again... no numbers.
If we want the real numbers we have to rent a spitfire, install on it all the modern testing stuff and run it.
I've never loved much the 109 while I've always hated the Oleg's Spitfire (but I love the real one since I was a kid): anyway I've never trusted the myth of the elliptical wings because of these planes fly against the physic laws compared to all the other ww2 planes.
