North American P51-D Mustang
"Big Beautiful Doll" Specifications
Owner: Mike Henningsen
This Mustang’s paint scheme is exactly as Col. John Landers plane looked in 1944 – 1945 when he commanded the 78th Fighter Group at Duxford, England. Col. Landers was one of America’s best with 14.5 aerial kills and numerous ground kills. The P-51 Mustang’s high altitude, long range bomber escorting capabilities was a determining factor in the allies winning
World War II.
