Mer info:

The North American A-36A Apache was a ground-attack variant of the P-51 Mustang fighter aircraft. It was developed for the United States Army Air Forces during World War II and saw service in North Africa, Italy, and the China-Burma-India theater. The A-36A had a reinforced airframe and dive brakes to enable it to perform steep dive bombing attacks. It was armed with six 0.50 caliber machine guns in the wings and two 500-pound bombs under the wings or fuselage. The A-36A was also capable of carrying rockets or drop tanks for increased range.
The A-36A was nicknamed “Invader” by its crews, but it was also known as “Mustang” or “Apache”. The A-36A was a fast and agile aircraft that could deliver accurate and devastating strikes on enemy targets. It was well liked by its pilots and ground crews, who praised its performance and reliability. The A-36A played an important role in supporting Allied ground forces and disrupting enemy supply lines in various theaters of war.
