Because of the limitations of the Mustang’s liquid cooled Merlin, I’ve been partial to the Skyraider, P-47 Thunderbolt, or F4U Corsair.

I can sypmathize, but to me the Mustang was true inspiration.

Agreed. The Air Force found that out the hard way in Korea when the brass insisted on using Mustangs as ground-attack aircraft.
