Hi JoeG,
A number of years ago I attended a lecture by   Korean era P-82 (Twin 
Mustang) pilots. They would chase after enemy trains during the hours of 
darkeness prior to light before the engineers could hide the train in tunnels. 
This 
required long hours in the air where the second pilot became valuable for 
relief or emergencies. It did its job quite well. The speakers stressed the 
versatility of the twin design. After WWII the right side was designed for a 
radar operator. That mid section wing on some had eight 50 caliber machine 
guns.   OUCH!
