Resp:
The second (fr to rear) looks to be a B/C, so definitely not in the Pacific Theater. The 110 gal drop tanks suggest ETO or MTO.

Resp:
Not sure if those markings are Post-war or the last of 1945. I believe they are during the war. I attribute my assessment to the 'bars' on either side of the star. I have seen photos of lines of Chinese marked Mustangs, but w/o the bars.

Resp:
The AVG never used Mustangs, and when the Flying Tigers received P-51 Mustangs it was well after the the AVG was incorporated (probably not the best term) into USAAF service. The year of Mustang arrivals in the CBI was late 1944, and these may have been Allison engined P-51As. Merlin arrivals . . ?

Resp:
Very late 'D' model due to rocket stubs on wings, with Chinese markings. Likely posts WWII.

The aircraft looks to be at fairly low altitude. Makes me think . . . that the P-51 is down low with the bomber. A damaged bomber? Photo taken from a 'waist gun' window? Interesting!

Actually I think it's a photo op taken over England, I have one somewhere similar with a Mustang from each of the 4th FG's squadrons (334, 335 & 336) that looks very much the same.

Could it be a P-51K in Chinese markings? Note drop tanks.
