Re: P-51A of 23.FG

"Margie" was a P-51A from the 76FS/23FG , they had a distinctive down-turned sharkmouth and this one has a yellow spinner; the later P-51Bs and Cs had an up-turned sharkmouth.
The As had white numbers in the 100-series on the fins, no. 103 was 36083 ( in black on rear fuselage.) standard OD--NG with OD spinner (1944).
Most of the A-models went to the 76FS.
The mouth with the wavy teeth was very similar to that of the 26FS / 51FG on their P-40s.
