Couldn't agree more with the article. Some airplanes can be flown "by the book" with relatively little technique required, and can be taken off, flown, landed and waved off by procedure only. But WWII (& earlier) vintage aircraft demanded a degree of "feel" or technique that is apparently often overlooked in flight instruction today.
My father instructed in all the SE trainers of WWII, and go-arounds were always practiced at a safe altitude to drill home the pecularities of the type. A T-6 or even a BT-13 would quickly roll inverted if full power were applied over the numbers.
I could make an analogy to playing a musical instrument; you can't write a procedure for playing a trumpet or violin. It's a matter of practicing the technique. Some people will "get it" and some won't.
