Photo Comment

The P-51 displayed for many years outside at the Philippine AF Museum with the name "Shark of Zambales" was incorrectly serialled '3733'; this is the same aircraft after restoration, and now falsely marked as '4823'. It was originally delivered to the USAAF as 44-74627, then transferred to the Philippine AF as 73373.
