I am beginning to feel that I am on the end of posts from people with a slightly superior attitude. I simply posted some surprising (to me) information that I had not seen before, that I thought would provide some anecdotal historical context as background to the aircraft performance debates on this forum. It would be nice if people exercised a little more common courtesy on this forum, or it will be dominated by less than polite postings.
I hope you understand the reason of my post. If my attitude (the perceived one) has annoyed you, then I politely ask to forgive me.

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.
