Nice photo essay of P-51 photos taken on Iwo Jima in late 1945… great variety & sharpness of photos. Once knew one of these P-51 pilots who flew these long & dangerous escort mission’s from Iwo to Japan. Enjoy! 20th FG I believe…… yellow nose spinners…..you always see color footage of this group in many documentaries! Man..what these planes would bring today. WOW!!!
