Hi everyone,


I share with you some photos showing P-51 Mustangs on aircraft carriers. There was a naval version of this plane? To see the photos, visit the link below:

the one with the arrestor hook was the only navalised P51 made, it wasnt needed so the project was cancelled


the pics of all the ones on the carrier is of them being transported to Korea for the war there

Yep. That's right on the money. They were probably F-51Ds, not P-51s, as only the F-51s served in Korea
