AGREED, but only regarding straight and level, nav turns and so on. High maneuverability flight and, of course combat (DF) flight, require much bigger inputs and therefore greater forces applied to the controls.

i dont have much experience with prop A/C. I have mainly flown A/C with hydraulic assisted or FBW controls, but I beleive forces needed in WWII A/C (specially at high speed) were even bigger that the ones required on modern jets.
