If you look in there "battle 360" section, they have pictures of a p51 Mustang making a carrier takeoff...

Is there some sort of story behind this Mustang?

Had the naval Mustang entered operational service, this is what it could have looked like. Based on a VF-4 F6F Hellcat's livery in early 1945. Profile by Gaëtan Marie.
