From 1:00 are Mustangs from Polish 306 Fighter Sqn. My grandma's brother was in that unit than. He used plane code named "UZ- I ". Unfortunatelly, he died in action in other Mustang in february 1945. Polish pilots used planes with individual code letter from first letter of his name. Looking at the letter on plane and having list of pilots from that unit, you are able to know, with high probability, which individual pilot is flying this exact plane.
I don't want to sound like a grammar nazi, but razorback refers to the original P-47's thin and sharp section behind the cockpit. The P-51's fuselage behind the cockpit is not sharp, it's rounded. Birdcage or malcolm hood would be the correct terms for P-51 A/B/C :).
They- P-51b/c models were fast @440/442 mph but those razor backs had reported lateral stability issues and bad stall issues, and the set up of 4 .50 cal machine guns had jamming issues. The "slower" (437 mph) P-51D was much better overall and a more powerful merlin variant engine
Polskie Mustangi z 306 tylko czy ja jestem ślepy? nie zauważyłem szachownic,za to dostrzegłem jednego Mustanga z kabiną starego typu to już drugi jeden latał w 315 PK-N FZ154

Thank you for these informations
I do like the look of the razor backs...

Love the Malcolm hood Mustang.
