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.

Also low fuel consumption, multirole aircraft (air to air, air to ground, and recon) ;)

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.)

The original flyer held all the duration, speed, maximum altitude, and time to climb records for heavier than air aviation.

Seems pretty high tech to me.
