[Tongue-in-cheek] Don't worry. Soviet frontline pilots also never got the performance their aviation industry promised. [/Tongue-in-cheek]
Seriously: One interview done decades after the war is neither indicative of any trend or fact not an authority on anything but a veteran's personal recollections. It's just a tiny part of a very long and very complicated equation.

 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.

S!
I wonder why AoA took it as a "truth" when certain criteria was met For me that interview was nothing but an interesting study of viewsets, nothing more.
