Clave, excellent as usual. Not curvature of the cockpit canopy having apex further aft in this pic. Sorry that I'm the guy who always nits. I wish I had the talent in your pinky.

Honest to God, I would pay for a book with your profiles. Let us know if you ever consolidate them into a publication.

I think it is more like this: http://amcmuseum.org/Images/p51mustang.jpg

So pointed more than arched...
