Absolutely Osprey, it's a very subjective list and naturally not everyone (myself included) will agree with Corky's opinion. He did mention 2 things which counted against the Mustang quite heavily, firstly the Mustang's Achilles heel...radiator damage during ground attacks and secondly stalling during landing...in particular as it's in the circuit and turning onto finals if an inexperienced pilot didn't keep an eye on the speed during the turn the aircraft would stall quite sharply and dive in.
If you use his criteria as a basis, the Mustang fails in 1 aspect (pilot compatibility) and struggles in part of another (air to ground troop support). So you can see why he has placed other aircraft ahead of the Mustang.
