This warbird wears the colors of the original “Man O’ War” flown by Lt. Col Claiborn Kinnard Jr of the 334FS, 4FG. More than 8100 of the D-model were produced, contributing to the total of 15,000 Mustangs built for the war. After World War II, the P-51 Mustang served in the air forces of over 55 countries.
