Yes, this is what I find most confusing, it seems the Spitfire is getting a character assasination based on some entries in pilots notes and flight tests, yet I can find many of the same restrictions in many other pilots notes on other aircraft....American ones no less, so with all these 'adopted' stability and control standards the Americans were producing aircraft with the same apparent problems? the Germans also produced aircraft with what might be considered 'dangerous' characteristis....so why is the Spitfire getting all this attention?
