One of my flight instructors was shot down three times in P-51's. Said that they were great to fly but easy to shoot down with any bullet that ruptured a cooling line, jacket or radiator. He was flying them in Korea.

To bad the twin radial wasp that powered the F8F Bearcat did see operation before the end of WW2.
It would had crushed everything.
As far as I know, this plane concieved in 43 still holds records for rate of climb and speed by any propeler driven aircraft.
