Probably the ultimate Mustang,with the radiators moved to the wingtips in the quest for speed,but also probably led to,or played a major part to the disaster on that fateful day in Cleveland in 1949.Which would effect air-racing for the next 15 years.
The markings and name on the aircraft come from Cole Porters"Begin the Beguine".The Beguine is also a dance step and is similar to the Rumba,and is popular in the Carribean.

I see that the free modding team have released one of the P-51 aircraft with German V-1 pulse jets under the wing.
My information on these tests were that the aircraft were slower than normal P-51's due too the extra weight & drag that came with this under wing installation. ?
