Hi all. I have a true puzzlement. I have not been able to find a reliable source for, believe it or not what are the correct NACA airfoils for the P-51 A through D. I've looked in everything from Janes to a hisorty of NAA, but the only identification I can find is "a 4% thick NACA laminar flow airfoil". It appears that due to war secrecy nobody wanted to give away the correct number.

TIA
