That is NOT a P-51B Mustang in the initial plane list
Common mistake in console games. It is correctly identified as a Mustang Mk 1A (the British term), but it is a P-51 Mustang in U.S. nomenclature. The P-51A had an engine change (still Allison) and switched to 4 -50 cal - this was the Mustang MkII. The P-51B swapped out Allison for Packard licensed Merlin, which the British used as the Mustang MkIII. The bubble canopy P-51D is the Mustang MkIV.
Hope you guys can fix that error. Thanks for including it in the game, for whatever reason, the Allison Mustangs rarely get included. I don't understand why - at low altitudes they were lethal weapons, both faster and more maneuverable than the later models. They were also in service from 1942 to 1945.
