ORIGINAL: P-51B
Dagnabbit Ernie,
I was hoping to get to the clue about it being the last aircraft delivered to the U.S. Navy with the vertical red, white, and blue rudder stripes.[:@]
You are up sir!
Well, I remembered the Navy looked at a P-39 derivative before the war. It didn't take much research to come up with the name. It was a really good question, though. It could easily have dragged on for quite a while. I think I'll make my question a lot easier. Something everyone will know or be able to research easily. Thanks; Ernie P.
