I am not trying to find any issues. I just want to know what performance envelope I am dealing with. With the refining of the heat parameters I use the performance data right out of the Pilot Manuals which differ between engines according to the Pilot Manuals.

The P-51B & C made up approximately half of the operational Mustangs flying combat missions in the ETO & MTO right up to the end of hostilities. In the CBI I have yet to see a photograph of a P-51B or C with a Malcolm Hood. This would seem to explain why they have two versions of essentially the same production block with different canopies.

Now I do wish TD would put the rear view mirrors in the cockpits of P-51B & C that were mounted on the windscreen frame above the reflector gun sight.
