The P-51 Mustang earnd its reputation as one of the greatest fighters of the WWII perhaps of all time. The replacement of the 1,100 hp Allison V-1710-39 engine in the original design to the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine brought the Mustang into the realm of excellence. This single seat fighter plane excelled with its deadly weaponry, high speed and long range maneuverability. This combination made the Mustang unparalleled as an escort fighter, interceptor and ground attacker. In 1947, as the US Air Force(USAF) was separated from the US Army Air Force(USAAF) and became independent, all of the USAF airplanes were renamed with the new F initial from former P- initial so that the P-51D Mustang got the new name of the F-51D Mustang since than. The F-51D played an active part through the whole period of the Korean War as major air war potential for the UN forces including USAF and ROKAF
