Base model and historical usage

The P-51D Mustang is a legendary fighter aircraft that played a key role during World War II. Introduced into service in 1944, it was widely used by the U.S. Air Force in both the European and Pacific theaters. The “D” version was the most produced, significantly improving bomber escort during long-range raids, including the battle over Germany and in the final months of the war in Western Europe. After World War II, Mustangs were used by many countries around the world—even into the Korean War era.
