Mustang Tales - Post WWII and NAVY Service
This product tells of the individual stories of 15 different Mustangs, that when combined tell of the greater legacy of the P-51D/F-51D from WWII until the present day.
P-51D-5-NA 44-14017 was borrowed by the U.S. Navy for carrier operations trials. Fitted with arrestor hook and catapult gear, the aircraft completes 25 successful landings and takeoffs aboard the U.S.S. Shangri-La. Both the aircraft and aircraft carrier are included in this extensive collection.
Had the Navy rushed a Naval version of the P-51D into production by the summer of 1945, we see what that aircraft might have looked like, fresh off the production line, in the “what if?” FJ-1D ‘Seahorse’.
A broad selection of Mustangs are included in this primarily postwar aimed dynamic and exciting group of aircraft. There is something here to thrill all Mustang fans, from the beautiful award winning and gleaming “Geraldine” a present day restoration, to the ex Guatemalan Air Force F-51D, bought instead of being scrapped. This is at the opposite end of the spectrum and is very nicely ‘beaten up’, with missing gauges. Examples of the F-51 are here including the Minnesota ANG version with the later fixed tail wheel introduced as a technical order, post war. And we feauture many more air arms in this product than seen before, including the Republic of Korea F-51 Mustang, as well as a Royal New Zealand Air Force example. There are also Royal Canadian Air Force and Royal Australian Air Force versions. The NACA ETF-51D used in the high speed tests for the Bell X-1 is included in its original form. All in turn going on to complete the story of one of if not the most iconic fighters built.

U.S.S. Shangri-La Carrier and AI Route
The U.S. Navy borrowed P-51D-5-NA 44-14017 for carrier trial examination. fitted with tail hook and catapult gear, conducted 150 land-based arrested landings and an untold number of catapult launches and simulated carrier takeoffs. The aircraft went out to sea aboard the USS Shangri-La in November and performed 4 successful carrier landings and 4 successful carrier take-offs. In all, the aircraft would complete 25 landings and take-offs from the Shangri-La, including several catapult launches. Through this product you are now capable of recreating those same original carrier operations, with all of the same details, for the first time since those trials originally took place.
An accurate depiction of the USS Shangri-La, developed by Michael Davies, is included in this product, and is depicted as it was at the time of the P-51 carrier trials. The carrier is setup with an AI route that takes the ship from the Norfolk docks up into Chesapeake Bay where the original trials actually took place. The ship's schedule even follows the times recorded from the ship's logs.
