To dismiss wartime studies, flight tests and reports as propaganda or faded memories is laughable.I could care less what has been argued here about whether or not .50 cals ever killed a tank. What I do care about is accurate flight models like most everyone else here. I think finally with 4.07 we have a P-51 that is at least closer to truth than in the past.
Oh yes, I totally agree. Doc u mented tests aren't propaganda
