"There's no need for prolonged inverted flight." And, if you stall below 10,000 feet, "the ground may come up fast and slap you in the face." It isn't really very technical. For the first few minutes you learn which buttons to push and which levers to set in which position but, for the most part, there are pleasant scenes, shot in color, of this queer-looking airplane in flight over snow-topped mountains and castellated clouds.The airplane itself is an ugly looking thing in its own way but sleek too. It was not that maneuverable but fast, well armed, and had more range than most of the fighters of its period.
