For today's installment, we have an atmospheric and just plain cool-lookin shot from 1947 or thereabouts that shows a couple'a P-51 Mustangs (later F-51) from the 113th Fighter Squadron, an Indiana Guard outfit. This was the early days of the Air Guard, when the lines were still a bit blurred between the 'ole National Guard aviation outfits and the new organization called the Air National Guard, hence the 'NG' on the fuselages and tails instead of the eventually-adopted 'ANG'.
Enjoy, and remember - The Air National Guard Protects America...
