Historical Overview of the F-51D Mustang

The North American F-51D Mustang is a later, postwar version of the legendary P-51D Mustang fighter. After the end of World War II, many P-51D planes were redesignated as F-51D and were used, among others, during the Korean conflict (1950-1953). It was a key support aircraft for the USA and allied countries such as Great Britain and Australia. Its versatility and reliability made it an icon of the Cold War era and one of the last propeller-driven fighters used in combat by Americans.
