A couple of questions if you don't mind:
- how much in bombs did the P51 usually carry?
- was one of those a more accurate bomber?
- did accuracy matter?
- why does the location of the guns in the nose allow for greater shooting distances?
Chino 2013 - most P-38's I ever saw in the air at one time. I was told they left from Chino and ONT for battle back in the day. Full disclosure - I think I've posted these somewhere on PP before...
