Mustang serial number question

Thu Jul 19, 2007 12:56 am

Any idea of the full serial number and/or history of a US marked WW2 vintage bubble canopy Mustang with the number 3008 on the tail?

Not much to go on I know...

Where did you see it? Do you recall the color scheme?

.... that most probably would be 44-73008... a P-51D-25-NA; no individual a/c history at hand at the moment, except that it was attached to the 15th USAAF in Italy on 450310 and was salvaged 450703...

the other possibility would be 44-13008, a P-51D-20-NT, but this a/c was delivered to the RAAF as A68-668 in July 1945; so I think we can eliminate this one.

I also would like to know more about your source and other details you can come up with.

Cordially
Martin
