my 2 cents
About maneuverability and turn rate ..
PLEASE Do not think about "HISTORICAL DATA" and turn rate and dont think about the mathematics and measures..
Think about the pilot!
and think about what you do not know
In the stick P-51D, measures 48 lbs in a 3g pull. Up to 86 Lbs at
5g's.
The P-47D, OTOH, requires just 16 lbs at 3g and 27 lbs at 5g's.
The testers state that the Mustang was a true "two hander".
The turn rate is less important for a dogfight..
Look at other things ..
