Own a piece of aviation history with this P-51C Kitten, personally signed by legendary Tuskegee pilot Charles McGee. This iconic fighter aircraft represents the pinnacle of WWII engineering—one of only 1,750 C-models produced. Featuring the advanced Packard Merlin V-1650 engine and innovative design improvements like the fuselage tank and enhanced air intake systems, the P-51C delivered superior performance over its predecessors. While early variants faced challenges with gun reliability and rear visibility, these issues were systematically resolved through factory refinements and field modifications. A remarkable collectible that honors both American aviation achievement and the extraordinary courage of the Tuskegee Airmen.
