Any movement on this?
Also.. the snap roll on the Mustang is actually pretty accurate.... Each of the Tuskegee Airmen I have spoken to (I am a member of the East Coast Chapter.. so I have spoken to a few on Mustangs, P-39s & P-40s as well..) and Bud Anderson as well.. all said that the Mustang they flew in combat was a great plane to fly and to a man they loved it... but you had no room to get your head up your butt... it was a great plane but it was unforgiving in that if you pushed it beyond it's known limits... and everyone knew about the center tank and the propensity to snap roll... it could bite you in the butt and depending on how high you were and what your situation was... as in defensive offensive or just fling.... you could wind up having a very bad day....
