Thats a rather easy one, P51, and in the beginning of the war known as the NA-73.  The first American P51 was flown as the A-36 Apache.  I believe this one is the P-51A.

You got some of it right United... Keep Guessing though, I am looking for the Exact Call Letters and name of this Plane.

Its a P51 Variant, Unfortunately the joker that ran the page listed this as a P51A, its not.

United, You were right when you said that the first one was the A36 Apache. Thats the actual Plane in the Photo. You compare an Apache and a P51A and you will see differences in canopy, Wingmounts, and tail. This is the Apache.
