Ehhh, guys you should calm up.
There was a lot of planes designed in the mid 30's that had pitch instability.
I won't submit you to an aerodynamics exam but Britain, it's a fact, was lagging behind the leading countries in that field of knowledge that were Germany and USA. USA was among the leading country in part because Karman went to work at the NACA in 35/36 (read his book - it's a fascinating tale of time of the great pioneer).
Anyway this is why many british design were too rounded or to thin or somewhat bulky. Not individualy (there was many talented scientist and aerodynamist) but as an institution, they did not master the viscous conditions as much as the leading nations. What was the key to understand plainly aerodynamics.
France had the same amount of knowledge as UK at the time. This is why most of the French design were seen as low performers as the testing didn't meet the expectations of the design teams (hence lower strain on HP demands, higher thickness ratio, lower wing surfaces etc... - One good example of that is the Curtiss H-75 (P-36) from US that was designed before 1935).
Russian did realize that and after the outbreak of WWII a high priority was given again to fundamental research and testing (the TSAGI) up to the point that the late Russian design during the war were above performer (at least in their prototype form). By the way, a little note to the guy in this forum that put Britain at the forefront of aeronautics knowledge when a bit of search will tell you that all this started with Joukowsky, a Russian Mathematician (

Before you start repeating your tirade about how British were at the for front of the sciences of aerodynamics etc... Let me tell you this: The father of the Buccaner, leading engineer for years at Blackburnand then BAe (started his carreer at Gloster if I do remind well) explains all this in his book. It tell us the fascinating story of how the Brits test facility were relaying on inappropriate methods (at least not accurate) to simulate airflows in the 40's.
Oh, and by the way, he was also on the board of the British team that worked teh design of the SuperUberModern EF2000billions£. That tell you a lot about how much this design is ready to plink the 21'st century threats - Bah it's another story!
I don't have the name of course. But in regard to your disgusting way of smoking every thread, irrespective prose, and what can be called blatant lying I won't do a single search.
