The Spitfire airplane had the unusual quality that allowed it to be flown in a partly stalled condition in accelerated flight without becoming laterally unstable
You know that this matter can't be resolved right, do you?

not violent: there is no meter for the stall to be "violent/not violent".
unusual amount: is it possible to quantify the usual one? And usual compared to?
many flight conditions: which ones?
party stlled: again... no numbers.

If we want the real numbers we have to rent a spitfire, install on it all the modern testing stuff and run it.

I've never loved much the 109 while I've always hated the Oleg's Spitfire (but I love the real one since I was a kid): anyway I've never trusted the myth of the elliptical wings because of these planes fly against the physic laws compared to all the other ww2 planes.

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
