Light fighters alternatives, 1935-1945 (9 Viewers)

[tomo pauk]

I see 7 distinct similarieties with a P-51A.

"Distinct similarities" do not equate to a"predecessor".

 

[special ed]

Just a quick look, I see five dissimilar features:
Non retractable tail skid
Auxiliary vertical fins
Landing gear too long
very poor rear view windows
and
the engine turns the wrong way - optional of course.

P-51A had no rear view.

What are those auxliary vertical fins for in your opinion ?

It has wings, an engine and a tail - Similar to the Wright Bros product.
