The last Allison-powered Mustang was the P-51A It was powered by the Allison V-1710-81 engine, and was very much like the A-36 but without the dive-bombing equipment or the chin-mounted machine-guns. It did carry the under-wing racks for bombs and external fuel tanks. A total of 310 were built, fifty were sent to the RAF as Mustang II's and thirty five were fitted with cameras and designated F-6B's.

This is a P-51(no suffix), or Mustang 1a as the Brits called it. The P-51A is the one that followed, and is the one that was very much like the A-36 structurally and all that good stuff.
