No not really...........................:wink2:
Go a Aussie Kittyhawk but thats hyjacking sorry Neil.
 
Neil,

The P-51 Mustang exemplified American air power, just as the Spitfire represented British air power. Frankly, I hope that it is left that way.

Alex,

Sorry, but Mustangs were flown under the British flag and, in fact, K & C made a wooden one in invasion stripes. Yes, the American one is iconic but what's wrong with making one with British markings. I'd love to see it.

Actually, I think the most iconic representative of US air power in WW2 was the P-47 Thunderbolt, not the Mustang.

I would vote for the Boeing B-17 as THE symbol of US air power in WW2, unless you are Japanese, then I might think the Boeing B-29 would enter. :wink2: -- Al

That is a very nice looking P-51. -- Al
 
Sorry guys, but I am a purist at heart and consider the Mustang to be an "American" fighter plane, not British (despite the Merlin engine). By the way, I do not recall an American version of the Spitfire. {sm0}
