The Pacific Profiles series presents the most comprehensive and accurate World War II profiles of Allied and Japanese aircraft that served throughout the South and Southwest Pacific theaters. This Volume 12 delves into the P-51 and F-6 Mustang series, which played pivotal roles in New Guinea, the Philippines, and the Japanese islands. These aircraft were operated by a total of ten USAAF Fifth Air Force fighter and reconnaissance squadrons, as well as the Combat Replacement Training Centre in New Guinea.
The book includes a comprehensive final chapter that covers post-war transition markings for the three years until 1948. Many profiles in this volume are presented for the first time, accompanied by detailed derivations of markings, including squadron heraldry and codes. Until now, there has been a scarcity of information about Fifth Air Force Mustang units, particularly the tactical reconnaissance and air commando squadrons. Each profile is supported by an abundance of photographs and documentation, along with a brief history of each aircraft. Extensive primary reference material is cited, including assignment data, squadron records, color photography, maintenance logs, diaries, and factory specifications. A concise history of each unit and the rationale behind its associated markings accompanies the text.
The author, renowned for his expertise in the Pacific air war, has brought forth a remarkable illustration of the USAAF Fifth Air Force Mustang and its vibrant markings. This volume showcases the breadth, accuracy, and detail that have never been achieved before in portraying these aircraft and their captivating markings.
