I remember reading somewhere that how the a/c was bought by the Air
Corps had partly to do with Congress. They had allocated only so much
for fighter a/c and when the Mustang becae available it had all ben
spent, but there was still money left for attack and army cooperation
a/c so it was bought under that umbrella and modified appropriately.

This is probably a stupid question, what's the difference between an A-36
and a P-51A?
