I saw a reprint on ebay recently but it was from 1941 and I wanted later. I love the ATA stories. Especially the females.

I do love the "H" tail. We have both flown at Stallion 51 (I love those guys) but he has to have the whole week long course for the insurance. Hopefully they can get him in soon.

I assume a P-51D would be all American threads but I wondered if a Packard Merlin would have any kinky or Whitworth threads. I figured the Merlins made in the UK might. Thank you for the help.
