I tend to disagree with that. Warbirds today are better maintained and looked after than they were 60 years ago. Unfortunately, things break sometimes. But that does not mean that they are not any better or worse than they were originally. Look in a cockpit of one of the warbirds that fly today. Some of the instruments are updated and the radios are certainly not original. In many ways, the ones of today are in better shape.
