I've found the details on another website so excuse the typing. The magazine was Flight Journal from August 2003 and the author was Corky Meyer;
Pilot compatability
experienced pilots didn't fight wars; hastily trained conscripts that BECAME experienced pilots fought them.
the plane should therefore be comfortable for a 200hr, wartime-trained pilot to fly.
docile flight characteristics, high performance, good cockpit design & outside visibility, comfort, armored/self-sealing fuel tanks, and the resulting low accident rate.
