North American built 44-74939 late in 1945. It was not delivered until July 1945 and never saw combat. The Army Air Forces first assigned the fighter to Andrews Field, outside Washington, D.C., and later to Freeman Field, Indiana. After eleven months and 211 flying hours of operational service, this Mustang was set aside as a museum specimen and later transferred to the National Air Museum. When NASM acquired this Mustang, it bore a proud admonition on both sides of the fuselage in large black letters: "Guard The Victory, Join the AAF." The airplane was probably used for recruiting drives

15 May 1947: First flight, at Muroc AFB. 4/48: TOS USAF. Used in extensive engine testing program with one engine being changed to a J47. When the clear plastic nose began to crack from variations in temperature at high and low altitudes, mechanics fashioned a durable replacement made from plywood, which is still on the plane. The plane flew in the test program until late 1953. 1954: Paul Garber Restoration Facility, National Air Museum, Silver Hill, MD. 2010: Transported to the National Museum of the USAF where it remains stored at the restoration facility.
