Umm, the Mustang was designed by North American at the request of the British. They were asked to license-build P-40s, and said "We can do better". They had the prototype built and ready to fly in 120 days, which leads me to believe they had already designed it and were just looking for a buyer. The point here is that they weren't given to the RAF either, but bought and paid for.
