The Pilot Makes the Machine?

 I found this piece on an obscure and unsuccessful (for US)WWII fighter plane to be very interesting.  It seems that while it was a failure in the Pacific for us, it worked for the Finns.

Raises the question of how much was the machine, how much the pilot and their training, and how much the opposing airforce? And to what extent does this illustrate a more general proposition about man/machine/environment?
