Will be listing a number of photos taken from an American airman's photo album in the coming month or so. He was apparently a P-51 fighter pilot in the South Pacific.
VERY, very, rare photo of a P-51D with Nationalist Chinese markings on it! Only one like it that was in the album. According to what I found on the web, they received approximately 100 P-51D's from the USAAF in February, 1945, so I imagine this is one that's fresh from getting its insignia... applied since it was at an American base. Photo is in nice shape and clear, I don't have a scanner so I'm taking photos of the photos.
Please ask questions first, all sales final, will ship to U.S. addresses ONLY! Buyer pays for USPS first class postage. Thanks much!
