The dumbest thing the airfarce did was can the thunderbolt(P-47) for the p-51 for ground attack during the korean war.WTF?over.A BB will knock down a mustang whereas it would take another thunderbolt to knock down a thunderbolt.Mustangs are just hair dressers airplanes anyway.
The one true advantage the Mustang had was range and it was also cheaper. Range is always important, but was it a decisive factor in Korea?
