Famous WW2 Quote
"Among the men who fought on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue."Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, 16 Mar 1945

F-51 Mustangs, not P-51s. The designation P-51 (P for pursuit) was officially changed to F-51 (F for fighter) in 1948. There was never actually a new aircraft, every P-51 was just called an F-51.
