By the way, that image of the P-51D "NEVER Miss" it REMARKABLY similar to a very famous Mustang known as "DETROIT Miss" - please see the image attached.
DETROIT Miss was piloted by Urban (Ben) Drew of Detroit, MI and is the only pilot credited with downing two (2) Messerschmidt, ME-262, jet aircraft, in a single mission.
That took guts to go up against two faster airplanes!
