The "P" stood for pursuit, not prototype. See P-51, P-38, etc. The designations were later changed from "P" to "F" when the Airforce was formed.

I remember watching this episode as a kid. I was obsessed from my earliest memories. I developed my reading abilities because as soon as I could read, I got my hands on every airplane book that I possibly could. Now I’m a captain at a small airline. Never stop dreaming.
