Can anyone confirm whether there was a difference in the wing thickness between the P-51B/C and the P-51D Mustang? I have read that the P-51D was modified to have a slightly thicker wing to allow for the upright installation of the three .50 cal machine guns to correct the jamming problems that occured in the P-51B/C (the two wing guns were mounted at an angle). However, I have also read that there was no difference in thickness and that the guns were just mounted upright with a redesigned feed system for the guns, and things worked fine.
Hoping someone can provide an answer to this question.
Thanks.
Ron
