Thanks, Tom.  That was cool.   Two of the greatest prop fighters ever.

Didn't WWII German Air Marshal Göring say that he could have won the battle of Britain if he had Spitfires?   And of course the Red Tails perfect bomber defense record was with P-51s was it not?

I don't know that Goering made the comment, but in his book "the First and the Last" General of Fighters Adolf Galland relates that Fat Herman asked him what he needed and Galland replied "Spitfires!"
