Shouldn't that be the P51D? The B was the 'highback' whereas the D had a similar bubble canopy. FWIW, the Mustang was built to an RAF requirement, had a British engine and even the bubble canopy was a British idea yet it still remains the quintessential American fighter.

It's not how you get the points, it's how many points you get that matters. At the start of the season everyone on here didn't give a cr4p how we did it, just as long as we stayed up. As a business strategy, drawing ugly is better than losing beautifully.
