Re: The English used German planes



28 (hey, I'm informal!),

They were all redesignated in 1947 when the USAF was formed and they changed from Pursuit to Fighter designations. Same thing happened to change the P-51D into the F-51D.

The one in 1962 under McNamara was worse -- FJ-4 became F-1, F2H became F-2, F3D became F-3, F4H/F-110 became F-4, etc.
