A P-51D of the 332nd FG were called the "Red-tailed Angels"
by bomber crews as the unit had a superb escort record. Unlike most
other pilots, the Tuskegee airmen would not leave their bombers unprotected
to chase enemy fighters. This is a rare colour photograph of a Tuskegee
Mustang. |

fin fillet and sraining of the aircraft seem to indicate it was retained
as a test aircraft by NAA. |
