That's a lousy poem Eagle! (Sorry!) But you're right about the Camel. The reason it was a favourite was because it was highly maneouvrable... And the reason it was often lethal to novices was because it was unstable! Just look at the modern Eurofighter - it is is specifically designed to be unstable & therefore maneouvrable. The two go together, hence the virutes & faults of the Camel.
