The last production version of the P-51 Mustang was the H model delivered for the invasion of Japan, but never saw combat. Only some 555 were produced before the end of the war and the remaining orders cancelled. Delivered as 44-64314, this Mustang was retired in 1956 to the US Force Museum in Dayton, OH. Later displayed at the VFW Post, Miamisberg, OH, the fighter would be rebuild using parts from scrap dealers and a wrecked airframe in the '60s.
