    It's easy to make a dogfighter... it's pretty dam hard to make that dogfighter fly 8 hours.
    The Mustang was America's great achievment of ww2, be sure.

    If you had to make a list of events/things that contributed to ending WWII, the P51 would be way, way down the list.

    The Eastern Front accounted for at least 75% of German military deaths and prisoners. The nuclear bomb finished the Pacific conflict. The P51's contribution is not even 1%.

    Had the P51 not existed, the allies would still have won.

    I'm not sure what the point of this thread is

    The answer is 17.3% and you don't have that even listed. Get your act together Megile.

    It didn't win just the war. It wan the wars.

    WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and now Iraq. Quite a record, I must say.
