P-51 Mustang & A-36 Apache

Hello drgondog,

I have to admit I'm not very proficient in technical details. I also do not know all of the abbreviations that you use. Keep in mind I'm not a mothertongue speaker. My breakdown of F-6 kills does not include any comments about the engine but I have acquired "Mustang and Thunderbolt Aces of the Pacific and CBI" by John Stanaway, which I will read one day.

I wish you a good start into a happy new year 2024,

Michael

Hi Michael -

NA-91 = P-51-NA and Mustang IA. Most converted to recon, originally named Apache by Army but corrected and agreed by Kindelberger CO of North American. As recon is was designated F-6,
NA-97 = A-36 Mustang
NA-99 = P-51A and F-6A and Mustang II

All Allison powered

Hello drgondog,

thanks for the info. So these are the Allison-engined versions. I think the available claim breakdowns do not make a dinstinction between Allison and Merlin but I'll keep my eyes open.

I wish you a good weekend,

Michael
