A P-51 is not a WWII fighter “Jet”. Correct the headline
Not a jet. It’s as fast as some jets, but not a jet. First clue, the blades on the front. Second clue, don’t walk into them, when they’re spinning. They’re still there, they didn’t magically disappear when motor started.
Thomas Cruise?
Who wrote that headline? Its not a jet ?

A P51 Mustang is not a Fighter Jet.
“Fighter Jet”? It is a plane. The propeller should be your clue.
“AMERICAN WWII FIGHTER JET” ….We didn’t have jets in WWII.
