Question on P-51D "Man o' War"
« on: December 06, 2006, 11:46:00 PM »
I see this skin on the AH skins site, its absolutely GORGEOUS!!

Is there any chance of it making it into a future skinpack, or is it not historical? I see profiles for it on 4th FG sites, but t just looks a bit too unique to be a real combat aircraft to me.

But I'm aften wrong, and hope I am again on this one. :)

Oh, it's real. The P51 slots are just filled up, is all. If HTC likes it enough they can rotate a few in and out, but that means removing some to put others in.

I'm aware of that, I was just wondering if it stood a chance of making it into the rotation.

WHOOPEE!!!

Submitted and accepted back in the summer.

See this thread for more information here.

Yes it is an actual plane that was used in the war by one of the top straffing aces during his time in the 4th FG.  Also a profile is in Osprey's book on "Top Straffing Aces of the Eighth AF".
