History:
The North American P-51D Mustang was one of the most celebrated fighters of World War II, but its influence extended well beyond 1945. Supplied to the Republic of China Air Force, the Mustang became a crucial aircraft during the Chinese Civil War. In 1949, pilots such as Captain Cheng Sung Ting flew these aircraft in frontline defence roles as Nationalist forces fought to maintain control. With its combination of speed, firepower, and range, the Mustang was a key part of ROCAF’s efforts to resist Communist forces. This Forces of Valor model highlights both the technical excellence of the Mustang and the bravery of the pilots who flew it during a defining moment in East Asian history.
