OOOPS! I thought those were P-38's you posted after taking a quick glance.
My apologies.
What was the purpose of having two cockpits? If there is one place in the world where you only want one man making the decisions,it is in a fighter plane.

Beings the P51 was a proven design I guess marrying the 2 fuselages together was easier than doing a major redesign to make 1 large cockpit (like the P38) instead of using the 2 existing cockpits.....
