At the time we look at the ramjet engine was a dead end
And if you ask for options, no I don't think I would have liked flying that Mustang. Don't know what ramjets are like today, but back then I don't think anyone liked them.
From memory I think the US made a copy of the V-1 missile and that's it, a dead end. I am pretty certain the Russians tested it, and came up with the same answer.
The faster you go, the better such an engine gets, so I am told, which means a Mustang is pretty useless as such....with a ramjet.....
But my question is not about efficiency or likeabillity, just if the two Mustangs were one and the same
