As arguably the finest fighter aircraft of WWII, the Mustang went on to be selected as the USAF primary piston engined fighter after the war, with all other types relegated to secondary roles, or withdrawn from service. The re-designation of USAF aircraft in 1948 saw the P for Pursuit change to F for Fighter, resulting in the Mustang becoming a North American F-51D
During the Korean War, the famous Mustang of the Second World War traded its role as a day fighter to that of a ground attack aircraft, where it proved to be more effective than the early US jet designs. With significant advances in ground based anti-aircraft technology, the aircraft suffered heavily when operating at these extremely low altitudes.
