Mustangs played a crucial role in the Pacific, escorting B-29s from Iwo Jima to Japan. Between 1941 and 1945, the Army Air Force ordered 14,855 Mustangs, including A-36A dive bombers and F-6 photo-reconnaissance versions. Among them, 7,956 were P-51Ds, featuring the distinctive "bubble" canopy and heavier armament. P-51Ds served as interceptors and were primarily utilized for close support of ground forces. Even after the war, P-51s continued to serve with Reserve and National Guard units until 1957.
