The A-36A dive bomber was the first US Army Air Forces version of North American's famous Mustang, the latter originally developed for the RAF in 1940. It was used in the Mediterranean and Italian campaigns in 1943 but by 1944 it had been found that the high-altitude P-47 and P-51 fighters were more suitable for low-level missions when fitted with bomb racks than the A-36As. The museum's example was raced by the Essex Wire Corp as NX39502 '44' between 1946 and 1949, eventually being donated in 1971. It is painted as an A-36A flown by the 522nd FBS in combat over North Africa and Italy

After its USAF career when it flew as 44-72400 this P-51D became involved in air races with different owners since 1946! In 1952 it made an attempt on the piston airspeed record with race number 45. In 1972, it was acquired by the Bradley Air Museum in derelict condition and subsequently restored for display. It still looks very shiny here in 2016, displaying its old race number 45.

Actually a P-51D built by North American at Inglewood for the USAAF as 44-73979, taken on strength by the RCAF as 9246 in December 1950. Grounded after an accident in May 1951.

Returned to Duxford and repainted in 2014 as a P-51K of the 82nd FS, 78th FG for the American Air Museum

This is P-51D 44-72035, which in 2016 was unveiled after restoration in historically accurate markings as carried in 1945 when it entered service with the famous Afro-American Tuskagee Airmen of the 99th Fighter Squadron, 332nd Fighter Group in Italy on escort and ground attack sweeps over Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia. Remaining in USAF service till 1956 (including use by the NV ANG as a target tug 1949/50), it was civilianised as N5411V before being sold in Colombia as HK-2812P in 1982. In 1988 it became F-AZMU, flying as "Jumping Jacques". Sold to Peter Teichman as G-SIJJ in 2003

North American P-51D Mustangs in Swedish Air Force colours are very rare, as only two are known to be left in Sweden, where the type was called J26. Most of these aircraft were sold to Latin America after retirement in 1954. This is the only S26 reconnaissance version left, ex USAAF P-51D 44-72112, it served with F21 during its nine year career with the Swedish Air Force.

The P-51 did not arrive in Sweden until towards the end of WWII when the Allies offered used aircraft to interested buyers. In three years, Sweden bought 161 Mustangs, designated J 26 in Flygvapnet service. From 1953, the Flygvapnet began to take the J 26 out of service but did not preserve any of the frames, rather all were sold to various countries. This example first served withe USAAF as 44-63992 and then with the Israeli DF as 2353. Israeli authorities later donated it for preservation and it now wears the same F 16/A markings as when delivered in April, 1945.

This was the last Mustang in operational service with a USAF tactical unit, 44-74936 - see my 1973 photo here. In view of that, it is odd that around 1982 it was repainted as seen now to represent a P-51D flown by the commander of the 325th Fighter Group in Italy in 1944

This was the last Mustang in operational service with a USAF tactical unit, 44-74936 - see my 1973 photo here. In view of that, it is odd that around 1982 it was repainted as seen now to represent a P-51D flown by the commander of the 325th Fighter Group in Italy in 1944

This Mustang, redsignated as an F-51D in 1948, had the honour of being the last prop-driven fighter operational with a USAF tactical unit when retired by the 167th Fighter-Bomber Squadron (ANG), Shepherd Field, Martinsburg, WV in January 1957. It was ferried in these colours from Charleston, WV to Patterson Field, OH for preservation at the USAF Museum, being met over Ohio by an F-100 Super Sabre. It seems rather surprising in view of its significance as the last P-51 in service that by 1982 it had been repainted to represent a different aircraft (see my 2024 photo)

NZ2411 was delivered to the RNZAF in August 1945. It was assembled but with the end of World War II not needed. In early 1946 the aircraft was encased in a rubberised cocoon where it remain until 1952. To give the reservist Territory Air Force a combat capability, NZ2411 and other stored P-51s were removed from their cocoons and handed to TAF squadrons. On December 22, 1953, NZ2411 crashed at Tongaporutu i on a flight from Ohakea to Whenuapai after the pilot became disorientated in cloud and lost control. Photo from: Air Force Museum of New Zealand

This Mustang is actually 44-64265, redesigned as an F-51H from 1948 and spending most of its life at Chanute AFB, IL, firstly as a training frame and latterly on display. In 2010 it was painted to represent the aircraft flown by Claude J Crenshaw with the 82nd FG at Grenier Field, NH, following WWII. Crenshaw flew with 369th FS, 359th FG during WWII and downed seven enemy aircraft with a P-51D also named Louisiana Heatwave. When the museum at Chanute closed in 2015, it was transferred to the Warner Robins collection
