P-51 Mustang Unit Cost in 1945 was $50,945.00.
My favorite World War II fighter.
Pretty damn close $$ estimate for a complete wild guess!!
Mine too; though of course not until married to Merlin.
We used to have a yellow P-51 fly over our house when we lived in Redondo Beach. The sound of that super-charged 16 cylinder Allison engine was just as thrilling as the screaming engine of a Formula 1 car...
