That is the favourite example for the design of a radiator duct taking advantage of the Meredith effect. However, we should be a little careful of what we take from that design as the Mustang was more efficient and faster with wing-mounted radiators in place of the guns, as exemplified by those used in the Reno and Cleveland pylon races.
