It should be possible to compare the loss rate of the A36 (ground
attack version of the P51 in WW2) with the loss rate of the P47 in WW2
to extrapolate the possible loss rate of a hypothetical F47 of the
Korean war. In this way we could compare this hypothetical F47
radial with the above Jets.
Now that would be interesting. But leave out the P-51. It didn't have
radials.
