Personally I am waiting for you to supply examples of any WW2 fighter that met modern standards

We know that the Spit didn't but we also know it wasn't a problem. We also know that the DC3 didn't meet the standards and can only assume that the people still flying these aircraft 70+ years after they were designed don't realise that they are so unstable.

We are still waiting for a load of information that you said you had that supported your case.

PS don't claim to have the training or qualifications that you claim to have but IIRC, MIL-F-8785 was mainly short period damping regarding roll, not the longitudinal stability of an aircraft
