I know the role the P-51 Mustang in the ETO contributed to the demise of the Luftwaffe, but what I'm saying is, how could the Allies continue the air war in the ETO without the P-51 Mustang?

The fixes to the P-47 & P-38 didn’t really arrive until AFTER they were withdrawn from active escort duties. I imagine that if the P-51 hadn’t been a success that those refinements would have arrived earlier out of necessity.
