Profile 2: RAF & Commonwealth P-51 Mustangs

There are not many fighters which achieve a legendary status in history but the P-51 Mustang is certainly one of the few exceptions. As the American-built equivalent to the Spitfire the Mustang was employed by a multitude of different air arms including, among others, the RAF, RCAF, RAAF, RNZAF, SAAF and the USAF.

On Target Profile 2 concentrates purely on the machines operated by the Commonwealth nations. A large percentage of these did of course belong to the Royal Air Force and as such many of the profiles focus on machines operated by the United Kingdom. Some of the most interesting schemes worn by Canadian, Australian and South African aircraft are also included among others and the combination of all these makes for a fascinating read.
