Stability and Control characteristics of the Early Mark Spitfires

[Crumpp]

17,000 Bonanza/Debonairs being made but isnt the Debonair a single fin aeroplane ?

The accident statistics include both types.

Again, the failures were notable enough for the RAF to send the plane to be tested to discover why the wings were failing in August of 1940.

Damn shame they did not have standards in place and that stability and control was such a new science at the time. Lives could have been saved.
