But everyone said that it was easy to fly, were all the pilots stupid of every nation. Or could it be that the training and the pilots notes did what they should do, warn and enable the pilots to get used to it.

All aircraft have their own unique feature, old and new. To pretend that only the Spitfire had its own problems is foolish pilots notes are not the be all and end all. Most planes have a warning that intentional spins should be avoided but they get spun. The notes are a warning, no more no less
