Postage Stamp - 1/100 P-51D Mustang "Big Beautiful Doll"

The P-51D Mustang was designed as a long-range fighter and bomber. In its heyday, during the later phase of World War II, no other combat aircraft could fly as high, as fast, or as far, and it was recognized as the best of its kind. In 1944 the Mustang was recognized as the best single seat long range escort fighter. Over 15,000 P-51s were produced for the US armed forces. The “Big Beautiful Doll” was flown by Col John Landers, one of the most famous pilots to serve in the USAAF, since he had attained the status of ace in both the Pacific and European theatres.
