Just one of the opinions. It was loved by reconaissance pilots for it's stability and good view, but fighter pilots hated it for sluggishness, poor flight characteristics and weak armament. Good point was rather good visibility, but for example radio on all Brittish planes (including first Airacobras) was considered as "by no means better then Russian analog".
