This is an adopted Standard:

So what? You have absolutely no evidence for this ridiculous claim that the British had no adopted standards, although I have searched through all of your posts to find a "document" you claim to have posted - without success...

this is exactly like Crumpp's assertions over 100 octane and 16 fighter squadrons - all this does is show his level of ignorance and biased POV about the British aviation industry and administration, and about the Spitfire.

Let's not be obtuse. None of this is to claim other nations did not progress in aviation or contribute. It is only to lay the historical foundation as to why these were the only Western Nations to adopt stability and control standards.

Yeah, right - the poor ol' British had no proper stability and control standards and no clues, until the heroic Americans helped sort it out for
them...
