FWIW, here is a link to additional information regarding this particular P-51

Also, the original P-51 marked as "Moonbeam McSwine" was flown by Captain William T. Whisner, an Ace of the 8th Air Force, 487th Fighter Squadron, 352nd Fighter Group, U.S. Army Air Corps. He flew 2 tours with the 352nd, flying 137 combat missions. He scored 15.5 air-to-air kills. He scored multiple kills on several missions. His biggest day came on 2 November 1944 when he shot down five FW-190s. Capt Whisner also became an ace during the Korean War with 5.5 air-to-air kills, all against MiG-15s.
