<p>Actual US military serial 42-25234. (incorrectly given on the FAA website as 42-25254).
That rarest of beasts, an airworthy razorback ‘Jug’! Like the P-51A beside it, this was one of the very early acquisitions by Ed Maloney, and has remained with the collection ever since. Initially restored to flight in 1963, it suffered a forced landing at a show in 1971 and didn’t fly again till 1976. It wears the markings of the 56th Fighter Group, based at Halesworth in Suffolk, UK in 1943.
On display in the Pond hangar at the Planes of Fame Museum,
Chino, California, USA.
