Re: Photo USAAF Aircraft
Hi Clint
Both 23FG and 51FG operated their Mustangs with Tiger Shark mouths. Since the code visible on this P-51C is 287 I believe it is the 51FG (all P-51s I have seen from 23FG had codes in the 100 range, not counting those aircraft which belonged to their TRS) It seems 25FS used codes in the 200-249 range 26FS used codes in the 250-299 range 16FS used codes in the 350-399 range So this should thus be P-51C 43-25200 from 26FS 51FG This unit was never based at Kunming, but since aircraft are moveable it is not impossible of course it could for one reason or another have been there when the photo was taken. The usual lack of accurate date is annoying.... Cheers Stig
