I've been trying to figure out a way to prolong the life of the Luftwaffe for at least a few months. Say for some reason North American's design for the Mustang is rejected by the USAAF (call it anything you want - crash of the prototype, for instance). What do we see as escort fighters (even if its a few months later) over Western Europe? My first idea was something like a -47N a few years early but I wondered if there was anything else that's a possibility.
