A much more rare occurance on a Jug then it was on the 51s, mainly because the RAF used it first on thier Mustangs with the USAAF following suit.

The Jug you posted is a war weary razorback used by the 5th Rescue Squadron, so it wasn't really a frontline combat Jug at the time

maybe the pilot had a head like Arnold off of "Hey Arnold"

Malcolm Hood, maybe relative of Robin Hood?

I've actually never seen that, how odd that looks!

Doesn't our P-51B have the same hood?

Yes it does. The P51B/C "Mustang III" is what made the malcolm hood famous (as that is what the 'Hood was put on)

Technically not a Malcom hood on the Spit. Definately a blown canopy like the Malcom.

There are still folks who think all the Malcom was on a Mustang was a Spitfire canopy. Not that the size or shape would even remotely fit

lol fair enough, that told me

was it just the same company that developed the RAF Mustang hoods and the Spitfire hoods?
