Awesome picture Friedrich!!!
You can kind of see the "Sharks Mouth" behind one of the pilots. Didn't Claire Chennault have them painted on in order to boost morale? Then shortly thereafter they became famous?.....
The Brits originally asked North American to build a plane that would replace the outdated P-40. North American modeled the P-51 after the P-40. Which is why the P-40 looks somewhat like a P-51.
