The long-ranged Merlin engined Mustang, more than any other fighter, gave the
U.S. Army Air Force the air superiority it needed to counter Luftwaffe Me 109s
and Fw 190s in the strategic air war over Germany in World War II. It also
served with distinction in the Far East theater, in the service of other
countries, during the Korean War, and in the Air National Guard.
Our Mustang is painted in the personal markings of Tuskegee Airman Captain Roscoe Brown who commanded the 100th Fighter Squadron, 332nd Fighter Group, 15th Air Force, stationed at Ramitelli, Italy in 1945. (This particular aircraft, Air Force Serial No. 44-73683, was built in March 1945 and never saw service in WWII) |
