The sales would correspondingly drop, as people wouldn't see the need to downgrade their Mk. XXVII spitfires (with 100lb boosts! j/k here), P-51Ds, FW-190D-9s to the earlier planes.

Unfortunately, with that logic, the F-86s are a long way off

This is 1940, stop wishing my virtual life away !

Oh, and btw P51s were used in Korea. They lost many in the ground attack role.
