xp51f

[GreyWolf]

I have a question on the history and testing of the F and H models. It seem that there are no photos of the F model taken, maybe due to the number of F models built. and the move to the H model the org came with a short tail and later was fitted with the F tail. I have some pic taken at an airshow but
info Im getting is incomplete and Im not finding alot on any of the web searches. here are 2 images one being the H and the other being a D fitted with an Ftail.

I hope to hear from anyone who have any info on this question. Thanks

Salute Wolf

Ok so the F model did not come with the tall tail but was added to the H model later. So if Im correct the F tail looks like the D model and it can later in the H models production. Thanks Micdrow

Prototypes would always be photographed from all angles. They just don't get published very often. Here are some of the others.

Gruenhagen's book is very best single volume on the P-51 with very few errors. Highly recommend it.

Really so how do I get this book? I love good books on warbirds.
