Mustang B details
 

Hi Guys,

I am desperately looking for high quality pictures of Mustrang version B details of wing (upper and lower surfaces, rivets, movable parts) as well as tail section...Can anyone provide me with these? PLEASE...

Are there any surviving B mustangs in the world?? And if, where than??

Thanks

It is an extremally rare beast. There is a one in NASM and another with Kermit Weeks, I cannot say anything about authenticity of the latter though. CAF used to fly a one but they crashed it fatally. The closest is Princess Elisabeth but actually it is a composite rebuilt using substntial parts of P-51D, so not very authentic.
Sadly, there are no known substantial wrecks that may constitute a static exhibit in foreseeable future.
Cheers

Hi Franek,

Thanks. I know about survivors from musnatngmustang web site...but none is well documented:(
BTW as far as I know, prove me wrong, C version might be of help as well as it was only diferent manufacturer but the same plane;)
SO ANYONE please dig out your personal photos of B/C Mustangs from air displays, flying legend shows etc...and contact me:))
THANKS

Peter
