Which side was mostly responsible for those designs, and did said
side win the war?
In war, you simply don't have the time for proper R&D, test, and
debug. You mass produce what you know to work as quickly as you can
and throw them out at the front lines. R&D is something that should
be reserved for one time use, mass destruction sort of weapon, like
MA's or the atomic bomb, not piddly things like MS or outlandish
aircraft designs.
