When the US measured airframe build efficiency in WWII it seems productivity followed a curve that said it took 16 to 18 man hours per pound of aircraft
for the first production example, dropping to around 7 man hours by aircraft 10, 3 by aircraft 100, 1.2 by aircraft 1000 and 0.52 man hours per airframe pound by aircraft 10,000.
Australia, NAA: A705 9/84/51 scan 9, cost of aircraft notes a Mustang in
1944 was said to cost 23,000 pounds and 43,250 in 1950, thanks to post war inflation and the increase in unit overheads from reducing the number built
per month (it also quotes the Beaufort as 61,000 pounds in 1944).
Australian Archives MP450/1 109 Department of Aircraft production costs of locally made aircraft, in pounds, but the Wirraway and Tiger Moth costs were shared with the Department of Air and the Beaufighter, Mosquito, Mustang and Tiger Moth included costs incurred for orders for aircraft that were
cancelled after the end of the war.
