I suspect that image was captured within 2+ weeks of D-Day, as the 354th moved to the continent, staging from the 18th through the 23rd. Looks like a Malcolm Hood equipped Mustang.354th Fighter Squadron P-51 Landing in UK after Raid in France

Can't read serial number. Two considerations. NMF which would place a last run B-5-NA and all B-10. If serial number is late block P-51B-5 in 43-71XX range (mid jan delivery) then Buffalo was the Mod center for east bound Mustangs. Long Beach was site for many west bound.drgondog also one of the last 200 modified with 85 gal fuselage tank, and denoted at the Buffalo Depot as P-51B-7-NA with white 'cg' 6x6 inch cross to so identify it. ?

Original Photo lot 2 52nd Fighter Group 5th Squadron P-51 nose art 3 kills pilot | eBay
The first photo shows the side of the Mustang with the nose art 'Lil Bets' and Lt. I. P. Franklin, as well as 3 German kill markings. The other photo shows a GI standing in front of a Mustang. On the back of the photos is written Lt. Franklin's Lil Bets and on the other Koss & P-51.www.ebay.com

At a senior Civil Air Patrol meeting, which included some WW2 pilots, a 16mm B&W movie was brought by a guest who had served with AAC just after AVG disbanded. The old long nose P-40C was used with these type of 3 tubes under each wing for ground attack. Very impressive movie of very low altitude practice firing rockets.
