Interesting trivia on P-51D aerial wires
#1

I just received a book order for the two Kagero books "P-51 B/C and P-51 D/K Over the Third Rieich". An interesting bit of trivia that I really never noticed was this from the P-51 D/K book: P-51 Ds used the pole antenna aft of the cockpit since all 8th AF fighter used RAF style VHF radio sets. So the airial wires often depicted in profiles, etc. is incorrect.

I really never noticed before since I do often see the aerials in profile drawings.
