The legendary P-51 Mustang is the
star of Roseanna’s Reply. It was arguably the best fighter
of WWII. Although this could easily be vintage wartime Kodachrome,
this group of “D” model Mustangs was actually caught by famed
aviation photographer Michael O’Leary in April 1999. With about 150
still airworthy worldwide, and dozens more being restored…and in
some cases actually being built virtually from ground up with newly
manufactured parts…the Mustang is by far and away the most numerous
surviving true WWII fighter. The “D” models pictured here are most
easily identified by their bubble canopies.
