Surplus AF prices from 1945...

Hellcat, 100 dollars
P51, 100 dollars
P38, 150 dollars
SBD, 100 dollars

Price adjusted for inflation, that's ~1400 bucks apiece in today's dollars? Might as well get a spare engine for your P51 for parts, at 10 bucks apiece, and a spare prop or 2 at 15 bucks apiece.
