I agree but Yeager would say that Yamamoto would
have a problem with P51s too. He also said that
pilots pretty much preferred the planes they flew
which would seem to be a given.
That seems to be the case, especially with pilots who had a lot of hours in one particular type that worked well for them, though some opinions didn't get frozen in time, either. I have talked to some pilots who flew Mustangs in WWII and immediately postwar, then had to fly them again in Korea… "what once was hot, by then was not."
