I know no one personally who has been killed in a Cub. The guy who flew the Bearcat at Reno would buy me a tank of gas every time I flew in to his duster strip - he died when something happened during cruise flight. A good buddy's uncle died in a P-51 a couple decades ago. There are a lot fewer warbirds than Cubs, and my stories are not statistics, but I am going to go out on a limb here and say the Cub is significantly safer to operate than one of these WWII fighters.
I agree with the sentiments above - Brad will probably be a superb Spitfire pilot. He should get a couple hundred hours in a Cub or Stearman first.
