How many kills did P-51's get over Europe again?  

Add all of the kills by all other planes and the 51's got more.

It sounds like a ludicrous statement but I have seen in print that the Mustang killed more aircraft then all Allied types combined. Maybe that is what he meant

The F6F had 307 aces and the P51 only 275...

There are so many skilled sim pilots in this sim...to be in the air and to engage an enemy often yields more than I care to deal with.

As squads go, nothing beats the comradere and friendships that are formed over time...I have friends here that I first got to know back 11 yrs ago in the original 13th TAS.

If you're not in a squad, I would recommend it highly...you just might make some friends for life

hiya Ice...  

If Cherubs ever shows up in AH let me know. Might make me start flying again.

Interesting stat.  Would you happen to know how many pilots total flew each type of plane?  Anyone?

874 P-51D/K's were delivered to the British.
200 were license built in Australia.
8,102 total D/K's were built in America.

Someone else will have to dig up the earlier models' production numbers.
