The definitive version, the P-51D, was powered by the Packard V-1650-7, a license-built version of the two-speed two-stage-supercharged Merlin 66 and was armed with six .50 caliber (12.7 mm) AN/M2 Browning machine guns.

This model takes a historic turn in one of the lesser known stories of the Mustang is its service with the Communist Chinese forces who would go on to form the Peoples Republic of China.

These Mustangs were used in various roles with the Communists and nine of them even had the honor of flying over Beijing on October 1st 1949 for a parade to commemorate the establishment of the communist party.
