I'm curious about the P-51's wings: With the thickest part so far aft was the C/L at 40% or so, or still at 20-30%?
 
It's more dependent upon the mean line, not the thickness distribution. The component of lift due to angle of attack acts at 25%, so it will move forward as the angle of attack increases.
