Stability and Control characteristics of the Early Mark Spitfires

[Glider]

First of all, credit where its due, Crump has produced the copies with details and for that I thank him.

So we have 4 losses in the front line which are obviously caused by something.
One of these made it home and was probably a bent wing as the aircraft is designated as overstressed. I don't see any other examples so there is no case for saying that this was a significant problem.
The otthers we do not know the details of but the reasons could be many. This is far from proving that the Spit structural limits were easily reached.

What I also find interesting is that none seem to have been lost to spinning which rules that out as a weakness
