But would it last a second in a dogfight?

It had no rivals during its reign. Not one was lost due to enemy action so I'd say its record is pretty damn good.

It was about as stable as the modern stealth fighter too....

dont forget: it can't be seen on radar, and if it is, people will mistake it for a couple birds. (my dad and his friends developed a joke plan to attack D.C. with WWI bombers. actually a very feasable idea.)
