There was no P51B with 20mm cannons.

British Mustang Mk1A about 200 had 4 20mm. Used in army cooperation work and for reconnaissance. Basicly P51A or A36 apache that the british replaced the MG's with 4 cannon. It was still allison powered but fast and potent below 15K.

How would you like to see the summer sqweekers roaring through furballs HOing everything with these...... :x

bustr, the Mustang I was the American P-51 (no sub letter). The Mustang Ia replaced the mgs of the I with cannons. The A-36 was based on the P-51(no sub letter).

Actually the P51 prototype flew more than a year before Germany declared war on the USA ;)
