A-36 ad from NAA

Not an A-36. No dive brakes, no wing pylons. Just a plain P-51.


No matter how you slice it...this ongoing discussion stems from North American itself. The intention leans towards them calling it the Apache...well documented through their print ads.

Can I commend to people to help resolve this once and for all, an article published in the September/October 2023 issue of the EAA Warbirds magazine written by Tom Griffith which sets out the background, history and usage of the 'Apache' name in relation to North American Aviation aircraft, and specifically how the A-36A was never named 'Apache' by NAA or the USAAF.

Thanks for the recommendation! What would be the best way to access this article?
