Re: Fate of RAF Mustang Mk.III/IV (P-51B/C/D/K) after WW II

If you wish to follow the service history of each delivered aircraft, then the only published source is the Air Britain series of histories. You will need to know which serial batches the Mustangs belonged to: for example FA100 to FZ999, KA100 to KZ999, and then obtain the appropriate books. This will tell you which operational units each aircraft was allocated to, but not the appropriate dates, and does not cover the Maintenance Units or Storage centres where the aircraft will have been when not on a squadron. Fuller information is available at the National Archives (I understand this is the correct place now) where individual record cards for each aircraft are retained.

If you are interested in the servicing, that is the maintenance procedures, of this type, then I don't know where you will find help. The Air Publications covering this may be available in the NA, but has not been published.
