Jeez George, Seems like the P-51 was much more successful in W.W.II than any
air cooled subs built by the enemy.  Actually, it is one of my most
respected airplanes.  I bet we could find a significant percentage of B-17
pilots that would attest to the "greatness" of this water cooled aircraft
too (of those still alive).
