P-51D-5-NA 44-11325, 'Marinell' was assigned to Capt. Bradford Stevens but was lost in a crash landing on 13th August 1944, killing the pilot Lt Myer Winkelmann. After many years as a derelict it was rebuilt by Maurice Hammond in 2008.The aircraft is depicted as it would have appeared in 1944, coded 5Q-D, as is most likely from the evidence (see Peter Randall's site).

P-51D-5-NA 44-11325 'Princess Pat' was assigned to Lt. Philip E Petitt. Shot down by a B-17 over Germany 7th April 1945; the pilot Lt. Davie MacKenzie was taken prisoner.

P-51D 44-14656 'Pauline' was the personal mount of Lt. Col Joe Thury, Group Commander. Badly shot up by ground fire on 15th April 1945, and subsequently scrapped.

P-51D-20-NA 44-72152, the last of several 'Tar Heels' flown by Capt. James Starnes. 'Tar Heel' returned Stateside but was lost in a mid-air collision with P-51D 44-72537 near San Antonio TX on 31st May 1945. Both pilots were killed.

These texture sets contain only the five external textures; all other textures can either be added from existing texture folders or you can put them into a 'texture.shared' folder. The 'texture.cfg' file within each texture folder is directed there.

Copy the 4 folders to your SimObjectsAirplanesWWII_FIGHTERS_P51D folder then copy and paste the following into the aircraft.cfg file after your last [fltsim.xx] entry.
