^^ During the Korean war many Mustangs were brought out of storage and guard units were activated for the ground attack role.
The Mustangs were certainly capable but were also vulnerable to ground fire from below. A hit to the cooling system/radiator resulted in a many losses.
As you probably know, Corsairs were also used for (mostly) ground attack in Korea but the air cooled radials could take more punishment without having to worry about loss of coolant.
