That is a very rare picture...
Went hunting on the net for the histories on these 1944 P-51D'S...
Was able to locate a serial number 413281 and its history. But 413287 an 413289 do not appear on the largest net serial number database. 81 to 89 may have been a batch shipment to North Africa... for the 15th AF...52ND FG. They were long range escorts..and flew ops into Germany and the Balkans. 413281 was lost Sept 3 over Belgrade Yugoslavia on an escort mission. The other 2 P-51's in the background of your pik are hard to identify serial number wise.....413281 may be one of those 2 in the background. Any info on where you scooped the picture would be appreciated!
