The Jug was much better in this role, but for some reason they were really not used in Korea.... just turned into ingots. With its radial, it could take a ton of punishment and still make it back. We built as many P-47's as P-51's also.
The Navy/Marines (Corsair) didn't fly AAF planes (Mustang), generally. They avoided liquid-cooled engines like the plague.
