The F-84s are said to have been very difficult to control due to their being extremely underpowered.

Yup, F-84 was a ground hog. They ended up putting RATO's on them to make takeoff shorter. Worked great for the first couple, but following aircraft had to follow through all that smoke on the runway. Quite the pucker factor.
