That’s cool. Mine flew A-36’s. P-51 with more guns, dive brakes and bomb racks.

I always looked upon the A-36 as a cross between the P-40 and the P-51, as it shared characteristics of both. It was not very popular for some reason, but I think it was a better aircraft than the P-40, all things considered.

All P-51 variants (including the A-36) mount four guns until the P-51D, which mounted six. Ammunition supply lasted about 12 seconds.
