You are welcome, I regret I can not give you a definitive answer, however I have flown most common prop types over the years along with driving the 767 for a time. 30-35 years ago there were still quite a few ex-RAF wartime pilots flying in senior roles or working at the CAA (for those that remember a particular moustachioed pipe smoking CAA examiner who would insist all dead stick landings were precisely that). The accounts of flying the spitfire or hurricane were that it was a very easy aircraft to fly, that it would forgive all but the most clumsy pilots. It would go exactly where you wanted it to go and would only bite you after giving plenty of growling first.
The Germans made exceptional aircraft, cutting edge technical types. The British made passionate aircraft which were easy for low hour pilots to fly. This undoubtedly helped win the war and particularly when pilot attrition was so high. Low time pilots were able to quickly get to grips with the hurry or the spit, the Germany accident figures for low time pilots speak for themselves.
