Very interesting!

I did a double take here:



Until I realized it was showing 2 different sets of markings instead of 1 really interesting plane

Polka dots?

 



A few more Chinese P-51'S

[Krusty]

I'm curious when they started using those markings. I've looked into chinese markings on other planes (P-38s, etc) and most of those were post-war gifts or whatever. Considering how close July is to August 14/15 when hostilities ceased, I'm curious about the background and use of the P-51s in chinese roundels.

The polka dot is a composite squadron so I would say good on that the others though?

Think this should cover it.

I think we have a black lightning bolt skin on the 51B

[skorpion]

This is a mix of CBI & Pacific Jugs & pony's. Could not be bothered sorting them out sorry.

[MotleyCH]

Here's a 23rd FG, where I just pasted the markings on to see what it would look like.
